"The ark of God's covenant was seen within his temple," Revelation 11:19.
Where was the ark of the covenant? In the temple. What temple? the one in the sky. Yeah. In heaven where God's throne is. The holy place made without human hands. The holy place where Jesus entered taking his own blood sacrifice securing an eternal covenant. What covenant? Not the old one. A new covenant in his blood. The covenant celebrated when we participate in communion, when we take the Lord's supper. In God's sky temple comprised of human beings answering the gospel call. Answering God's invitation through his son, born from a woman.
So we meet today with a brother or sister sharing in Jesus's sacrifice. And together we give thanks privileged to house the ark of God's new covenant written on our hearts.
