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❤️π
