The Setting Up of the Temple Again

The blessed God has laid the platform and the foundations of his temple, as it was to be restored and set up again among men, in and by that great Emmanuel, his own Son made flesh… an incarnate God among men, and a Man inhabited by all the fullness of God.. a most perfect temple…"God with us."
Here [in Christ] were met together man that could die, and God that could overcome death; man that might suffer, and God that could give sufficient value to those sufferings; sufficient to atone to the offended Majesty, and procure that life might be diffused…to all that should unite with him, whereby they might become living stones,  joined to that living cornerstone–a spiritual temple, again capable of that divine presence which they had aforfeited and whereof they were forsaken.
God was to have the first and leading part in reconciliations, as man has in disagreements.
—John Howe "The Living Temple"
