Mystery vs. Familiarity

1 Kgs 8:1-7, 9-13 - Ps 132:6-7, 8-10 - Mk 6:53-56

Where is the dwelling place of Christ? We can he go to find rest? The multitudes come and continue to come and he continues to give, untiring, unceasing to the limits of his human strength and then some. Who brings food for him? Who tries to heal him?
Surley if he is human he must have wounds, would his feet not blister and tire after staying on them all day? Would he at not least be hungry?
Or do we imagine that Christ was not really human and just healed himself whenever he needed? Do we imagine that Christ was only God "playing" at being human? Do we imagine that when the whips of the romans bit his flesh that God magically made him endure more then a man could handle?
Where was Christ's Solomon to build him a magnificant temple? Would Christ have allowed or asked for Solomon to build him a temple? What kind of a temple would Christ have built? Would it have gold and silver and beautiful crystal? Would it have expensive statues and high ceilings? Would it have elaborate sound and lighting systems? Would it look like your own parish? If not, then for whom is your temple built?
