In John 3, Jesus replaces the Temple, a building where God dwells, with the human body. The Body of Christ. God dwells in us. This is made clear in other parts of Scripture as well.
We understand our church buildings to be holy places where God can be found. We are often pretty particular about giving them our care and attention---believing that God deserves a home that is well-preserved.
How well do we do this when it comes to our selves? How well do we attend to our wellness and preservation---in body, mind, strength and soul? Are we as meticulous and thoughtful about the upkeep of the temple of God which is our very bodies?
The Holy Spirit dwells in us. Let us give care and attention to the Body of Christ---singularly and corporately---let us focus on wellness in body, mind, strength, and soul.
