Terry on the temple

Quote taken from this post:

His own personal presence fulfilled its purpose. His unique, atoning sacrifice would make its sacrificial system obsolete, and the coming of the Holy Spirit to the living stones of the Church would consign the Temple to history. At his death, the curtain of the inner sanctuary was torn from top to bottom. God had no further need of this particular building! Never again would it matter whether He was worshipped on this mountain or that (John 4:21). Geography was irrelevant. He now wants to be worshipped in Spirit and in Truth. Temples made with human hands are outdated and irrelevant.
