a temple is not a completed edifice

i preached this past weekend at our home church in Indy on we as the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit -  It really struck me that we are a temple in process.    As the Spirit resides in us, our temples are still being formed, shaped, and molded (Eph 2:21-22)  We so often see other believers and churches as a completed structure/edifice and not a work in process.  Peter said we are living stones (1 Pet 2:5)   

How this should move us to see others as who they can become and not for merely who they are. Jesus did this so beautifuly.  Zacheaus, woman at well, etc.   

Augustine said, "We stand in awe of the ocean, the thunderstorm, the sunset, the mountains, but we pass by a human being w/o notice even though the person is God's most magnificent creation."
