It was a dramatic way to demonstrate the universal nature of the Christian Church. When our mission trips go abroad, we do not go to plant the American flag, we go to celebrate the Christian flag, the cross of Christ. That is our center. That is what holds all believers together around the world. Jerusalem was an architectural center with no gaps, all elements were held in unity around the Temple.
Worship does that.
It gives our lives a frame, a border, so life is no longer loose and sloppy. One of the great hungers in this modern world is to bring harmony to our fragmented lives. We all know what it is to have too many things going for us. Worship can do this. Knowing who God is and giving God the rightful place of honor in our lives.
