John 2.13-22Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple is a shocking act but seems nothing compared with what he says next. The Temple was believed to be a space where heaven touched earth, but Jesus speaks of destroying it and rebuilding it in three days. However, Jesus isn’t speaking about the physical Temple, but his body. Jesus signals that his death and resurrection makes the whole world into the Temple of God.
What then, in our context, of the Church? What does it mean to be church, rather than just doing it? If we are the Temple (of the Spirit), what might we need to throw out?
This week we explore what we need and don’t need to be church.
