God's Holiness and Grace

Sometimes, it's hard for us to get a solid grip on holiness. We're far removed from the Temple, which gave concrete expression to God's holiness. We don't have archived video of the Transfiguration, where Jesus revealed himself to his closest disciples. We lack tangible representations of holiness.

Still, is it possible that, like the saints before us, we can experience holiness? Maybe, more than we realize or care to admit, God's holiness is all around us. If that's the case, the implications could be vast.

If holiness is no longer a place in the Temple or a sacred ark, what is holiness? Where is holiness? And who is holy?
