Isaiah 66:1 Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?

Christ has risen back to Heaven to be with God the Father. There He prepares a place for each person who believe in Him.

He is no longer bound to earth as He was when He lived amongst us as a mortal man.

Man prepared a place for God to be with us when Moses was leading the people out of Egypt. Man prepared a place to lay the body of Christ.

But where are they now? Nobody is quite sure because they belong to the earth; but we, like Christ, belong in Heaven with our awesome God!

2 Chronicles 2:6 But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

What does the church building look like which you attend? Is it modern, ancient, purpose-built or shared with others?

We cannot really build any building big enough or posh enough to contain God or to be worthy of holding God; but still we do.

We build buildings to try and give God glory or to house enough people willing to worship God together.

Don’t lose focus on who God is by going to the biggest and best building you can find – seek God wherever you go.

Hebrews 1:3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

We need to know and see Christ as being the brightness of God’s glory and the image of God Himself.

It may be hard to think of God as a person, or it may be easier for you to think of God as a person; whichever is easier for you to hold on to, do so.

Upholding God’s ways may not be easy for us, but doing so will continue to give Him the glory He alone deserves.

This we see by knowing Christ is sitting with God in Heaven right now! He has the full glory of God because He is God!
