Temple Revealed

John  2:19  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

 The revelation of Jesus in the New Testament is the complete will of God being made manifest to man. Our context verse gives us a picture of what has always been on God's mind concerning "the Temple". Rightly known that the Temple from the old Testament period has always been a place/building where God is worshipped, always regarded a place of sanctity and piety. The particular Temple Jesus was being reprimanded for by the Jewish leaders had been built for 46 years, however Jesus in His response to the Jewish leaders spoke about building it back up in 3 days. Well, was Jesus being literal or figurative? I honestly would say the former because Jesus meant every word He said, however, He was pointing to the fact that there was going to be a new " world order", God wasn't going to be recognizing the Temple made with human hands anymore but the 'Temple' garnished by His Spirit in a Man. In the New Testament, the Temple is every human who receives Jesus as Lord and Savior, no matter how much you respect a building used to congregate, the scripture is crystal clear, the Temple is now the Human vessel. Therefore, as a Christian, take every moment to recognize God always. You are God's Temple. God's Temple is clean, You are clean! God's Temple is glorious, You are glorious, God's Temple is loved and valued, You are loved and valued. Bask in the complete knowledge of who you are. Happy Sunday❤️🙂

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
