From the beauty of the temple to the beauty of Christ’s life, resurrection, and sacrificial love on the cross, Robert shows how Jesus answers our deepest longing to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.

| 0:00.0 | Thank you for listening to Every Square Inch, the podcast ministry of Christ for Kentucky. |
| 0:07.4 | Our generous financial partners ensure that our entire ministry, including this podcast, is offered as a free resource to everyone. |
| 0:15.7 | However, if our content has been a blessing to you, would you consider blessing our Kentucky neighbors? Rather than a donation |
| 0:22.7 | to Christ for Kentucky, the best way to thank us for the podcast is your tax deductible |
| 0:27.3 | contribution to our campaign to relieve the medical debt burden upon Kentucky's most vulnerable. |
| 0:33.7 | A link to those details can be found in the description of this podcast. |
| 0:38.2 | Thanks for considering, and we hope you enjoy this episode of Every Square Inch. |
| 1:02.6 | Hello and welcome back to Every Square Inch and our series Reconsider Christianity. My argument is that the best way to reconsider is to consider whether Jesus is the ultimate answer to humanity's ultimate quest, |

| 2:03.9 | So now the stage is set for me to demonstrate that Jesus is the essence of beauty, the source |
| 2:10.9 | of beauty, the standard of beauty, and offers us the hope of recapturing the beautiful destiny we were made to enjoy. |
| 2:21.0 | Like I said in the last podcast, though the Bible begins in perfect beauty, the beautiful |
| 2:28.2 | shalom of Genesis 1 and 2, from Genesis 3 onward, the Bible is uncomfortably honest about the |
| 2:37.0 | ugliness of life in this fallen world, which has been vandalized by sin. The story of the |
| 2:43.4 | Old Testament in particular is just a brutal story. But within that ugly history, there |
| 2:50.2 | is this sacred emblem of beauty. |
