Living Temples
Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 12:1-2
Devotional: The temple transition is complete. No longer a building in Jerusalem, but bodies scattered everywhere—yours included. You are where heaven meets earth now. The Holy Spirit dwells in you, making your ordinary life sacred space. This isn't metaphor; it's reality. Your workplace becomes a sanctuary. Your home, holy ground. Your conversations, prayers. Your choices, worship. Paul calls this being a "living sacrifice"—daily dying to self, daily choosing God's way over yours. It's not about perfection but direction, not arrival but pursuit.
As you take communion, remember: you're not just receiving Christ's body; you're becoming it for a watching world. Today, who will encounter heaven through you? Where you live, work, and play, you carry the presence that changes everything. You don't just go to church—you are the church, carrying God's presence wherever you go.
Reflection Question: How does knowing you are God's temple change the way you'll approach your everyday interactions and decisions today?
Quote: "The church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones." — Henry Ward Beecher
