How does Jesus build His church compared to Solomon's temple?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus builds His church, a living temple, whereas Solomon's temple was a physical structure that ultimately was destroyed.

Jesus builds His church as a living and growing entity made up of believers, as shown in Ephesians 2:19-22. This church is built on the foundation of Christ Himself, unlike Solomon's temple, which was a magnificent but ultimately temporary structure subject to destruction. Solomon's temple foreshadowed the true church that Christ would establish, which will endure forever. The church is alive, growing in spiritual depth and number as God adds to it those who are being saved, symbolizing a dynamic relationship between Christ and His people.
