1 Kings 8 – The grand opening

The Temple has been dedicated and opened! While he did put lot of effort and money into this Temple, Solomon understands that this house will not hold God. For all the splendor of the Temple, it is merely a focal point to turn to the Lord. This Temple, for all its grandeur, is weak; but the Temple points to Christ (John 2:13-22). He is our access to God.
