Sanctuary

My son Zachary asked me today, "what is santuary?"  As I talked about a quiet place, restful, protected, undisturbed...thinking what I could at the moment, he chimed in and said, "like heaven on earth!"  Pleased greatly at his response, I said "yes, Zachary, a heaven on earth."

From Psalm 102:
18 Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:

19 "The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth,

20 to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death."

21 So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem

22 when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD.

1 Corinthians 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

1 Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Ephesians 2:21
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

Revelation 1:6
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
