Journey Through Lent - Day 20

What are you building your life upon. Where and what is solid in your life? Paul tells you what he is building his life upon, and he is admonishing us to do the same. For Paul, he is building his life on the cornerstone, the foundation of Christ Jesus. Jesus is the ground from which we build. Our lives find their complete and truest definition and meaning in Him. And Paul wants us to rest assure that the truest thing about us will find its way though, will ultimately be known. It may be through fire, and that fire is the white hot fire of God's love, burning up from us all that is not of Christ and God's love.

It's easy to build on something other than what is true, and it's easy to find ourselves building with things that are not worthy of the foundation, and who we are. Paul wants us to be wise here, not to be deceived. So Paul directs us once again to the truth of our being. "you belong to Christ, that's where you are, thats who you are, build your life there, And Christ belongs to God. That's where he is, in his father's life and embrace, and you are there too. amen.

You are loved!
