Does God Actually Want Us To Rebuild The Temple? | Luke 19:41–48 | Trinity 10

Does God Actually Want Us To Rebuild The Temple? | Luke 19:41–48 | Trinity 10In this sermon for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity, Pastor Rojas asks a question at the heart of modern Christian Zionism: Does God actually want the Temple in Jerusalem rebuilt?Jesus’ answer is no. The Temple, sacrifices, priesthood, and altar all pointed to Christ. Jesus is the true Temple, the Lamb of God, and our great High Priest. The shadows have given way to the reality.Jerusalem’s deeper problem was that when God visited them, they didn’t recognize Him. They wanted political victory and earthly glory. God gave them a King on a donkey and a Savior on a cross. We make the same mistake whenever we decide what God must fix before we’ll believe He is with us.But you don’t have to wait for something to happen in Jerusalem. God has already come to you in Christ. He forgives you, dwells with you, and gives Himself to you. Even when your health, strength, and life are taken away, Christ is still yours.The Sacrifice has been made. The curtain is torn. Your sins are forgiven. God dwells with you. And because Christ lives, you will live also.Subscribe & Share if this sermon strengthened your faith.🎧 Spotify: Christ For You🇧🇷 Portuguese Podcast (“Cristo Para Você”)🌐 Website: https://www.zionwg.org/podcastLooking for a faithful Confessional Lutheran church in the Winter Garden, Florida area?
