Dwelling in the Household of God moves us from seeing God's dwelling place as the Temple to seeing God's dwelling place within the community of believers. The starting point now is an image in John 14:2: 'my Father's house,' which is given its Old Testament meaning of 'my father's household.' Our awareness thus moves, like that of the first Christians, from understanding 'My father's house' as the Temple (John 2:16) to 'My Father's Household' as a community of believers drawn into Jesus' own divine filiation. Coloe invites us to re-read the gospel from the post-Easter perspective of those who have become brothers and sisters of Jesus and living Temples of God's presence. What emerges is nothing less than a profound mysticism of the mutual indwelling of God and believers.
