Once the Hebrew Sanctuary was built, God appeared.
Exo 40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
In fact the entire purpose of the ancient Temple was to enable God to BE WITH Israel.
Exo 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
But something happened. They began to transfer the solemnity of God onto the building. Almost deifying the temple itself. Perhaps in some cases holding the priests in too high a regard.
The result was a stagnation of the gospel. You see, the original temple was mobile. Therefore God and His word were mobile. But once Israel focused on the temple, it became stagnant as did their mission.
Is it possible that we do the same today? Have we limited the word church to a building, thus rendering it and its mission stagnant?
Take a look at this eye opening message and let me know what you think in the comments.
