John’s Prologue (John 1:1-18) tells us that God, who is the Word, came into the world to dwell in Jesus. Verse 14 (“the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us”) tells us that Jesus’ body is the temple in which God dwells (literally, “tabernacled”). Jesus speaks of his body as the temple of God (Jn.2:19). This is explained further in chapter 3 of this book.
