Before God became man and walked the earth, the temple was the place where Heaven and Earth met. The Temple was where God dwelled. It was where people came to meet God. But when Jesus arrived on the scene, there became no need for the temple, for God was with us! In our Gospel lesson this week, Jesus foretells the destruction of the earthly temple because its purpose had been fulfilled. There was a New Temple now! People would no longer meet God in a building made with human hands, but in the very Person of Jesus Christ!
