Sunday's sermon text from 1.Corinthians 3, is a revelation of the extraordinary work underway through God's workmanship: to build us as the temple of God, the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Isn't that awesome!?
I used the temple layout from the time when Moses travelled through the wilderness towards the promised land. We read in Exodus 33:11 that 'they would meet face to face, and talk as a friend does to another friend.' well, we are way past the days of Moses. Do you talk with God in this way?
One thing was obvious for those who did (like the disciples of Christ), they had access to blessings and became a blessing to those around them. Access to the Holy of Holies does that to people - and it blesses them to be a blessing upon the earth, in fulfillment of the Lord's Prayer: "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." True holiness isn't defined by what we are against, but by what we have to give from God's presence ...
