‘Heavens cannot contain you!’ said Solomon, ‘How much less this house that I have built! (2 Chr 6:18). And yet, the King of Glory passed through the gates of a temple, where Israel’s pilgrims sought his face.’ This psalm shares Solomon’s astonishment: ‘Will God live with men and women on the earth?’ For us, that wonder is surpassed. We have seen the Son of God pass through the gate of our nature and heard him speak ‘of the temple of his body’ (Jn 2:21). And this is not all! Mystically assumed into that body, we become temples too—but we must throw open the gates of a generous heart: ‘If anyone loves me, my Father will love him; and we will come to him’ (Jn 14:23). We think of this as we sing: ‘Let him enter, the King of Glory!’ ‘Come, Lord Jesus’ (Rev 22:20).
