Matthew 7 Continued
Build
Your House on the Rock
A
foundation without Jesus is no foundation at all. Listen to a
thousand testimonies, and it will seem as though you hear the same
narrative: without Jesus, there is no lasting peace. Humanity was
built to worship. We all have loves in our life, that if left
unchecked will takeover our hearts, leading us into dark obsession.
There
are people we never want to upset, aren't there? Folks who's good
side we wish to stay on, even if it costs us heavily: parents,
employers, co-workers, children, teachers, lovers, friends—all
great, but they cannot be our foundational reason for living, they
just aren't stable enough to sustain us.
Perhaps
this is why some of us hop from job to job, church to church,
relationship to relationship so often: we're consistently
disappointed when folks aren't Jesus, when they're unable to love and
treat us perfectly.
Jesus
is what makes our lives stand erect, capable of withstanding the
waves of trouble that seem to crush everyone else.
And
that's what set Jesus apart: He's not some good guy or teacher, He is
God. Love Him or choose otherwise, He remains God.
In Him,
Jean-Marc
