“Foundation On The Rock”

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Matthew 7:24-27

For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians 2:18-22

Anyone who lives in Massachusetts knows about Plymouth Rock. And most know the effects of erosion on that rock. It is much smaller than it used to be.

Jesus is the rock. He is the foundation of our beliefs. He is the Son of God. He died. He was resurrected. His power is what removes the sins we all have, by faith alone. He is a solid Rock, a foundation.

We can cling to Jesus with storms that come into our lives. He is the precious cornerstone, and those who trust in Him will always have a solid Rock to depend on.

Christ, the Rock, is our sure hope.
