God With Us: How Jesus Fulfills the Old Testament Temple, Part 1: The Most Holy Place

In this expository sermon from John 2:12–21, we see that Jesus Christ is the true and final Temple, the fulfillment of everything the Old Testament tabernacle and temple foreshadowed. When Jesus cleanses the temple and declares, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it in three days,” He reveals that the dwelling place of God is no longer a building—but His own body.The Gospel of John assures believers that Christianity is not a new or innovative religion, but the fulfillment of the one true faith revealed in the Old Testament. The same God who dwelt among Israel in the Most Holy Place now dwells with His people through Jesus Christ and, by His Spirit, lives within every believer.This sermon connects Isaiah 40, the glory of the LORD revealed, and John’s Gospel, showing how Jesus is Immanuel—God with us—past, present, and future. From the temple in Jerusalem, to Christ’s incarnation, to the indwelling Holy Spirit, and finally to the New Creation, God’s promise to dwell with His people is fulfilled in Christ alone.Be confident and encouraged in your faith. If you trust in Jesus, you have embraced the true religion of the Creator God, and you belong to the people with whom He dwells forever.Here’s the video @ https://youtu.be/hAroaMvNaM4See other resources and teaching @ https://www.christchurchclayton.org/teachingWatch other sermons in the Gospel of John series @ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8Dt3kxWQ8RVudN3VOk1teh6thzyAuJD#JesusIsTheTemple#John2Sermon#BiblicalTheology#ReformedTheology#PresbyterianSermon#EvangelicalPreaching#GodWithUs#Immanuel#OldTestamentFulfilled#ChristIsTheFulfillment#ExpositoryPreaching#ConfidenceInChrist#AssuranceOfFaith #JohnMusgrave #ChristChurchOfClaytonNC  #TheGospelForLiving
