Purification

This is the week that is leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus for my sins and your sins.

Today I am meditating on the purification of the temple.  As I was thinking about this particular thing, it made me think of not only a structure/building, but also our bodies. 

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16," Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"

We need to take care of our bodies and care for them just like we would anything else.  We have the Spirit of God in us when we choose to become followers of Jesus by asking Him into our hearts.  WOW!  That is exciting!!!!!  My spiritual birthday is April 1986, and I have since rededicated my life in October 2010.  I was feeling like I was not as close to Jesus as I have/should be and man, what another exciting time of renewing my relationship with Jesus!!!!!!!!!  WHEW!!!!!  :)

What does it mean to you to purify the temple????

Thank you, Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins; man, I don't deserve it, but you show the amount of love you have for us by doing that for us.  Praise you, Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
