In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. — Eph 2:21 BSB

The Church is a magnificent spiritual temple. Christ Himself is the cornerstone.

Nothing in this world is built securely unless it rests on Christ. For centuries, believers in Christ have been built into the temple’s walls, which continue to rise. The temple is not yet finished—it won’t be complete until the last believer is added.

Each of us is a stone in this spiritual wall. Both large and small stones are used, and the smallest is just as important as the largest. If any stone is missing, there would be an empty space where it should have been. Each of us has our place in this temple. And in turn, we become a foundation for others to build upon.

We must ensure that those who trust in us or depend on us are never disappointed. Recently, it was discovered that some stones in a building were breaking. At one spot, a rotten stone had crumbled, causing the stones above it to shrink.

We must be strong stones that will never crumble.
