The Bible describes Christians as living stones that are to be joined together into a holy temple, a spiritual house, a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Only when you, as a living stone, are positioned correctly can you flourish and become what God has planned, which will deeply satisfy you. And only when the Church of the living God becomes a temple where God’s presence is manifested through the fire of the Spirit can the body of Christ on earth fulfil its destiny.
All members of the body are needed for this to happen and for the gospel to be preached in power in the world. Thus we have to understand the diversity that this worldwide temple represents, and allow the fire of the Spirit, the flame of God’s love, to burn away preconceived ideas and change our thinking so that the greatness of the body of Christ can be revealed.
Against the backdrop of the Old Testament temple service, this book by Ulf Ekman paints a thought-provoking portrait of the current Church situation, explaining the way in which God is building His temple on earth today and pointing to various aspects of the restoration that needs to take place for the body of Christ to reach its full potential. When this happens a revival unlike anything that has been seen before will break forth.
