The incarnation of Christ in Christian lives makes His manifestation in the flesh something other than a transient event. From the humanity into which He comes He does not withdraw. The footing He has gained He continues to hold. In human lives He continues to be revealed, through human lives He continues to speak. The tabernacle of God is not only with man; it is man. "The true Shekinah," says Chrysostom, "is man! The Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, but in the living temple of the humble, holy heart. Thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, "I dwell in the high and holy place, with Him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit." Appealing to the inner consciousness of Christians the Apostle of the Gentiles asks, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"
