Where Your House Should Stand


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
