Series Overview

On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 22: The Second Temple
Lesson Overview

When Israel was first given the Tabernacle, it was designed to reinforce the inherent paradox of the fallen human condition: God wants to dwell with his people on earth, but we cannot abide his holy presence without being consumed by it. The coming of God in the man Jesus is the resolution of this paradox, the glory of God dwelling fully in a human body. As the Tabernacle is the locus of God’s personal presence on earth, the sign and means of Israel’s purification by the proximity of God’s Spirit, and the seat of his just rule though his covenant people. So Jesus, fulfilling all these things in his own person, is said to be the restored Temple of God on earth. But now, by the power of Christ’s divinity, that Temple can extend over the whole earth, and the Spirit can dwell in all God’s people.
