”And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.“
1 Kings 5:17-18 KJV
Following the king Solomon’s orders, they quarried huge blocks of the best stone—dressed stone for the foundation of The Temple. Solomon and Hiram’s construction workers, cut and prepared the timber and stone for building The Temple. The best was selected to build the excellent temple of God in Jerusalem. In His Blood, Christ has made us to be His “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. For now we serve as holy priests, offering up spiritual sacrifices that He readily accepts through Jesus Christ. For it says in Scripture: Look! I lay a cornerstone in Zion, a chosen and priceless stone! And whoever believes in Him will certainly not be disappointed. God offered the most precious and priceless Gift to us that by faith we become the sanctuary of God. Our body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in us. We don’t belong to ourselves any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside us. Hallelujah!
