Interior, outerior, or both.
Well, look at it this way, if Jesus wasnt anymore impressed by the outward adornment of physical temple (or buildings) as his disciples were (at first) impressed by them... perhaps (just as we) His temple (now) shouldnt let our adornment be outward either anymore (more modest) or less "showy" in same respect.
Because these outward ornamentations only speak to the wealth greatness that we wish to prove to each other. What example did Jesus ever give to show us God wants or would have us to Choose outward ornamentation over that of works or inner workings that bring God glory?Why shouldn't we in addition to our inward ornamentation show honor to God through outward ornamentation?
What makes you think he wasn't impressed? Perhaps he merely saw it as his due? Have you read a verse in which Christ said: "I think the Temple ornamentation ordained by My Father is unsightly"?
Why shouldn't we in addition to our inward ornamentation show honor to God through outward ornamentation?
Here's me in front of one on my favorite churches.
Here's a view from the inside.
Behold the miracle of the floating sideways transparent stud!
You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14)
You're lucky; I wouldn't regard my church as favourite architecture - it's a hideous concrete monstrosity lacking almost any redeeming feature aesthetically or practically.Have some photos of my own church but how do you upload personal photos - they come out as 'thumbnails'.
My home church is kinda homely, but I love it anyway.
