He did it, but never tried to make it happen. His priority was training His disciples to continue His work. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. It shocks most people to learn the New Testament Church did not have church buildings. Nothing in the Bible teaches that a church must have a building.
Buildings are nice, and often convenient.
Any building-centered church is limited to the size of the building they can build. Buildings can encourage Christians to spend their time in activities behind the church-building walls, instead of reaching out to those in need outside the church. We must keep Jesus central, and use our resources to help others in His Name. We should not put all our time and money into buildings for our own use. We have been trained to be building-centered.
