Wisdom from Dr. Brant Pitre

Jesus's body is the dwelling place of God on earth. His body is God Made Flesh. His body is God With Us. And so with His body, we encounter the New Temple. And so when he says, "Destroy this temple and in three days I'll raise it up," he's talking about the temple of his body. If his earthly body is a temple, then so, too, is his Eucharistic body. The Eucharist is the New Temple and therefore is our ultimate destination.
