"Built on the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, that Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone; In which all the
building, well fitted, grows up into a holy temple in the Lord. "
Ephesians 2: 20,21
We are built and are therefore a building.
And a building is not born ready, it has a beginning, a middle and an end to
its constructive process.
However, whoever takes care of the house
knows, as soon as the construction or construction phase ends, the maintenance
and preservation phase begins. For our building to stand and firm support for
the quakes and the action of time, we must be built on solid foundation, on a
firm foundation.
And that is why our foundation is the
teaching of the apostles and prophets, and if we turn away from them, we are
building on an unstable and untested basis. And it is not enough just to build
on this foundation, but to be leaning on the corner stone, otherwise our effort
may also be in vain.
In antiquity, the walls were built with the
main purpose of protection and to stop the advance of the enemy, so a well
built wall was a sign of security and, therefore, of prosperity because
everyone could work without fear of being overrun.
And this corner stone was special, placed
just to be the point of stability of all that part of the wall that was in
contact with her. She had to be steadfast and unwavering, just as Jesus is for
us.
When we stand on Him, propped up in their
strong presence, enemy attacks can shake me, but do not knock me down because I
am stuck in that rock that is stronger than I am.
And being established in Him, Jesus, I am
strengthened and can grow to shelter and shine the glory of God in my life.
If you see the enemy coming or being attacked
and shaken by opposing forces, get closer to the Rock and find the support you
need to not only sustain the blows, but stand firm and not be knocked over.
