Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews then said,"It took forty-six years to building this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" John 2:19-20
As Jesus stood in Herod's mighty temple, Jesus began to plant the seed in their minds that He Himself was the new and true temple of the Holy Spirit. This beloved temple of stone would be destroyed in a few short years, and Jesus would live forever. It was a difficult transition for them to release the stone, and cling to Jesus, the new chief cornerstone. That is still our task and challenge today
