2 THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP In all of today s readings, the temple is prominently men oned. Ezekiel speaks of streams of living water flowing out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing life to all living things, offering fresh healing to God s people. Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest of founda ons, Christ himself. More than that, Paul reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of the Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them. For the Jews of Jesus me, the temple had come to be iden fied with the presence of God and the only place where authen c worship of God took place. Jesus had a different percep on. Jesus iden fied himself not with the temple, but as the temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a drama c shi in what it means to worship God, to be in God s presence. No longer was a place to be the focus of prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus Christ, becomes the center of our worship. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Thank you for your support.

Ezequiel habla de aguas vivas que fluyen del Templo, regando el desierto, trayendo vida a todas las cosas vivientes, brindando salud y frescor al pueblo de Dios. Pablo recuerda a los corin os que su fe reposa sobre bases firmes, Cristo mismo. Más que eso, Pablo les revela que quienes siguen a Cristo son templos ellos mismos, templos del Espíritu Santo, es decir, que Dios no solamente habita con ellos, sino dentro de ellos. Para los judíos de los empos de Jesús, el Templo era iden ficado con la presencia de Dios y como el lugar santo en donde la verdadera adoración a Dios tenía lugar. Jesús tenía una percepción diferente. Jesús se iden fica a sí mismo no con el Templo, sino como el templo. Al hacerlo, Jesús mostró un cambio dramá co en lo que significa adorar a Dios, estar en la presencia de Dios. Ya no sería un si o el centro de oración. Ahora una persona, la persona de Jesucristo, viene a ser el centro de nuestra adoración. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
