The Christ Within – Rediscovering the True Temple

 

 

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16

To know Christ is to awaken to your divine origin. The Christ is not a last name, nor is it solely the person of Jesus—it is a spiritual reality, a presence of divine love and wisdom that lives in each of us. In Jesus, this presence was fully embodied. But the great secret is this: the same light that was in him is in you.

The Christ within is your sacred center. It is the place where heaven and earth meet, not in a far-off cathedral or on a distant mountain, but within your own heart. Rediscovering this temple is not about religion—it is about direct encounter. It is about unlearning the false self and beholding the holy that has always lived within.

Beyond Dogma

Much of traditional teaching focuses on external forms—rules, rituals, and doctrines. But Jesus often pointed away from the letter of the law and toward the spirit behind it. He said the Kingdom of God is not “here” or “there,” but within. To awaken to Christ is not to memorize creeds, but to experience transformation.

You begin to notice it in small ways—a growing compassion, a deepening stillness, a clarity that arises without effort. It is the voice that whispers peace when the world shouts fear. It is the love that flows through you when ego would prefer to judge.

A Shift in Identity

When you realize the Christ within, your identity begins to shift. You are no longer defined by your wounds, achievements, or roles. You begin to see yourself—and others—through the eyes of love. This doesn’t make you passive. It makes you powerful in a quiet, radiant way.

You become the living temple. And just like Jesus, you begin to walk this world as a carrier of light. Not to preach, but to embody. Not to convert, but to love.

Reflection Practice

Sit in silence and gently place a hand on your heart. Ask: “What if the Christ truly lives in me?” Allow this to be more than a question—let it be an invitation. Notice what arises. A warmth? A word? A memory? Stay with it. Trust what you feel.
