Jesus: The Temple
In this episode, Joseph Mathias invites us to reflect on how Jesus fulfills the role and promise of the Temple from the Old Covenant. Drawing from 1 Kings 8, the passage that recounts Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the Temple, Joseph leads us to consider how the presence of God—once localized in stone and structure—is now fully revealed and accessible in the person of Jesus Christ.Through guided meditation and thoughtful reflection, this episode offers space to encounter Christ as the dwelling place of God among us, the one who intercedes, sanctifies, and draws us near.
