Jesus
Christ is the chief cornerstone of the Church. The subsequent foundation of the
Church is the apostles and prophets. And in Christ, we are being built up into a
holy Temple to the Lord. But the thing that builds us up together, the mortar
that holds all the pieces together is love. Love builds up. Our love for God
and our love for one another form the vertical and horizontal supports of this
temple which we make up. Most important, however, is God’s love for us. We don’t hold
ourselves together. We don’t keep ourselves secure. We don’t make ourselves
strong. Rather, God’s love for us sustains us, strengthens us, and secures us
for all eternity. And at the Lord’s table as we take communion we are reminded
of His love for us that makes us faithful to Him and to one another.
