The church is not a building

A Daily Devotional from Canada Water Church and Surrey Docks Church, London The church is not a building  Bible "Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." Joh 2:19 It took 46 years to build the the temple in Jesus' time.  How did he manage to build it in three days?  Verse 21 answers: "But the temple he had spoken of was his body."   The temple believers now use to worship in is not a building but faith in Christ that he is the place we go to in order to meet God. But this doesn't mean church = me, my Bible and Jesus.  No, church is the 'gathering' of those that meet God in Christ through faith.     Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, help is to realise that your church exists even when we are not all together in one place under one roof.  I praise you that I'm part of your scattered church worships you throughout the week.  Help me to look forward to the gatherings of others like me that found their home and safety in you.  Amen Regards, Kruger     Surrey Docks Church | forward to a friend | Canada Water Church   Copyright © 2011 City Life London incorporating Canada Water Church and Surrey Docks Church, All rights reserved.  update subscription preferences
