The Church as a Spiritual Home

Commentators interpret the "house" not as a literal building, but as a metaphor for the church or the community of believers. It is the shared space where Christ and His people enjoy fellowship. The materials, cedar and fir, are noted for their durability and pleasant aroma, symbolizing the strength, beauty, and lasting nature of this spiritual home.
