raise up: Sunday, March 3 at 10:30 a.m.
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up…” But he was speaking of the temple of his body. John 2: 13-22
The story of Jesus’ response to the temple being made into a marketplace was profound and may have been another step toward his ultimate demise on the cross. He refers to raising up a new temple in three days–something his disciples later remembered as a foretelling of his resurrection.
How might we raise up as the Body of Christ and be a holy temple–a holy dwelling place of God–in the world?
