The Lord is in His Holy Temple (2)

Last week I traced the history of the temple of God from the tabernacle in the wilderness to the present temple of the Lord – our bodies. Consider the temples, the physical structures, which were the
location of worship for centuries for Israelites. Solomon’s was spectacular. Herod’s was huge. These structures were impressive and expensive, but it was not the money spent on them that made them significant. What made them so great was that they were holy. Whether in the tabernacle or temple, God’s presence resided in it over the Ark of the Covenant between the cherubim. God’s presence was in the Most Holy Place and no one but the High Priest could enter—and he could only enter once a year on the Day of Atonement. The reason: God dwelt there and that place was holy.

I remind us that we are the temple of God today (1 Corinthians 3.17; 2 Corinthians 6.16). God’s temple should still be holy. Holiness is a divine quality. We serve a holy God (Isa. 6.3; Rev. 4.8). Holiness denotes moral purity and perfection. Our holy God invites us to be a holy people (1 Peter 1.15-16). How dare we pollute the temple of the holy God with our sinful indulgences and impurities! Jesus on two separate occasions drove those people out of the temple that had defiled it by having a yard sale. What things would Jesus drive out (with a whip) from His temple today? In other words, brethren, “let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in fear of God” (2 Cor. 7.1).
