God Dwelling On Earth?

“And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!”

1 Kings 8:26-27

When King Solomon finished building the first temple in Jerusalem, he knew what it was for, but marveled at that purpose. Would the Creator of all things somehow dwell with the people in that building? How could a God of such great power and holiness take a form to dwell in this world with us? This was difficult to understand for Solomon. Still, the glory of the Lord filled the temple by a dark cloud. Since then, God has taken a different form – flesh. He came as Jesus to dwell with His people to save souls from hell through the revelation of His glory. This work of God seems impossible, but this is a miracle God has done throughout history.
