Jesus said "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”[John 2:19]. When He talked of rebuilding the temple in 3 days, He signified His resurrection on the third day. Our redemption began at the crucifixion but our salvation was complete at the resurrection. He allowed them to kill Him so that He could rebuild His Body - the body of Christ on a new foundation; Him being the chief cornerstone! "He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities." [Isaiah 53:11]
