THE TEMPLE OF HIS BODY
By David Havard
Scripture Reading: John
2:21
In the verses immediately
preceding our text, Jesus had just purged the temple. As usual, the
Jews wanted a sign. They wanted to know by whose authority He had
done these things. Also in typical form, our Lord's answer went
right over their heads. The Lord Jesus spoke of spiritual truths,
but the Jews saw only the physical. Just as with the woman at the
well who thought only of physical thirst, so these Jews were also
blind to the great revealer of truth before them.
The temple of His body
... Think of it! Colossians 2:9 says, "that in Christ dwells
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." By this time, the
glory of God had long since departed from the temple. How the Jews
longed for the glory to return! Yet here before their own eyes was
the very "express image of His person" (Hebrews 1:3) and
the "image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15), and
they failed to recognize it!
How often we also lose
sight of spiritualtruths. We sometimes forget that ours is a
spiritual, heavenly hope and calling. Yet how often we are Esaus,
trading our spiritual blessings for a mess of earthly porridge! By
God's grace may we not lose sight of our rich blessings which the
Lord Jesus Christ accomplished and secured for us through the
"temple of His body."
