The Dwelling Place of God
About this episode
Bishop Barron discusses the significance of the Jerusalem temple as the dwelling place of God in the context of the Fifth Sunday of Easter readings.
Friends, on this Fifth Sunday of Easter, there’s a somewhat hidden theme that runs like a golden thread through the readings, and that theme is the temple. To understand the New Testament texts, we have to see the importance of the Jerusalem temple for ancient Israelites. It was the focal point of Jewish life—the political, cultural, and of course religious center of the country. It was seen, in almost a literal sense, as the dwelling place of God on earth.
