When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Jesus’ body was a temple in a unique sense. It was the body in which the Word had become flesh (John 1:14). The Father indwelt it, as did the Son (John 14:10-11) and the Spirit (John 1:32-33). It therefore uniquely manifested the Father. It was also the site where God manifested Himself on earth as He had done previously, though to a lesser extent, in the tabernacle and temple. Moreover it was the center of true worship following the Incarnation (cf. John 4:20-24). In it the ultimate sacrifice would take place. [Note: Carson, p. 182.]
