Reflection of the week

By Linda Sutton

Posted Nov  9, 2016 in Faith

On my way to worship, I see some fine examples of private dwellings and public buildings. Others have succumbed to demolition to make way for newer, but often less appealing architecture. Outside of town, there is a plaque marking a spot where a church once stood. Most of the people who worshipped there are now gone too.

In Luke 21:5, when Jesus predicted the future of Jerusalem, he warned his listeners of the destruction of the temple; the place they had been admiring for its beauty and grandeur. They misunderstood the true nature of God in Christ.

I am reminded that the Spirit of God can’t be contained in the building where I worship, or any other structure.   

Prayer

Holy Spirit, everlasting God, refresh in me, a sense of your eternal presence, housed in my heart. Amen.
