Jesus is the true and only way of access to the Father, the Greater Tabernacle, and the House of God – John 1:47-50. The Gospel of John presents Jesus as the True House of God . He is the way of access to the presence of God that is now open to all men. The man from Nazareth has become the True Bethel , the “ House of God .” From now on, Heaven is open to all men, and angels are “ ascending and descending ” on the “ Son of Man .” What Jacob saw in a vision long ago has become reality in Jesus Christ.

Jesus revealed the proper form and location for worshipping the Father to the woman at the well in Samaria. With the advent of the Messiah, concepts and traditions about holy space and time are now irrelevant. The presence of the Messiah rendered the historical debate over the location of the Temple moot, for the worship of God must be performed in truth and spirit .
