TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 28, 2020
Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 2:30PM The Church is the Lord's Temple
Today is October 28, 2020
Welcome to your mid-week!
Apostle Paul's metaphor for us to be the Lord's temple is not just a call to holiness, but a call to make Jesus our everything.
In scripture we see that Jesus is supposed to be our foundation. Jesus is supposed to be the one we stand on through the storms.
In scripture we see that Jesus is supposed to be our cornerstone. Jesus is supposed to be the one we trust and follow.
In scripture we see that Jesus is supposed to be our capstone. Jesus is supposed to be the one we boast about and proclaim.
Now, yes, we do have our responsibilities as the building stones of this temple metaphor but, without Jesus being our foundation, we will crumble. Without Jesus being our cornerstone, our lives will not be straight. Without Jesus being our capstone, we will be building a temple to someone or something else.
Jesus needs to be the center of our lives in every way before we start talking about what our responsibility is as the building stones of the Lord's temple. So, who is Jesus to you? Is Jesus your foundation? Is Jesus your cornerstone? Is Jesus your capstone?
For us to be the Lord's temple we need to start with you and Jesus.
God's protection and blessing over you and your family as you wrestle with this temple building metaphor and I look forward to worshiping with you all online this Sunday.
