piper-pic.jpg With the coming of the Son of God in human flesh, ritual and worship would undergo profound change. Christ Himself would become the final Passover Lamb, the final priest, the final temple. They would all pass away, and He would remain. What remained would be infinitely better. Referring to Himself, Jesus said, “I tell you, something greater than the temple is here” (Matthew 12:6). The temple became the dwelling of God at rare times when the glory of God filled the holy place. But of Christ the Bible says, “In him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily” (Colossians 2:9). The presence of God does not come and go on Jesus. He is God. . . . If we would meet God in worship, there is only one place we must go, to Jesus Christ.

– John Piper
