The Cornerstone That Cannot Be Moved
The Cornerstone That Cannot Be Moved
Thursday
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
— Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV)
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
— 1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)
— Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV)
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
— 1 Corinthians 3:11 (ESV)
Jesus ended His most famous sermon with a story about two builders. One built on rock; one built on sand. The storms came for both of them — Jesus made no promises about a storm-free life. The difference was entirely in what they built upon. Jesus was not simply prescribing Bible-reading as a structural additive for an otherwise man-made house. He was declaring Himself to be the Rock. The text of 1 Corinthians 3:11 makes it unmistakably clear: no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. The storms will come to your home — illness, financial pressure, relational strife, grief, unexpected loss. The question is not whether the storms will come, but whether your house is built on the One who conquered death and rose again. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely a doctrine to affirm; it is the bedrock of every home that will stand.
Reflect:
When the storms come to your home, what does your first instinct reveal about what you are truly building upon?
When the storms come to your home, what does your first instinct reveal about what you are truly building upon?
Pray:
Jesus, You are the Rock. You are the Cornerstone. I choose to build upon You — not my own resources or reputation. You are enough. Amen.
