Our Fundation




Read: 1 Corinthians 3:1-11

For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
€”1 Corinthians 3:11

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 105-106; 1 Corinthians 3

The Bavarian city of Nordlingen is unique. It sits in the middle of the Ries Crater, a large circular depression caused by the impact of a huge meteorite a long time ago. The immense pressure of the impact resulted in unsual crystallized rock and millions of microscopic diamonds. In the 13th century, these speckled stones were used to build St. George'€™s Church. Visitors can see the beautiful crystal deposits in its foundation and walls. Some might say it has a heavenly foundation.

The Bible talks of a different kind of heavenly foundation. The Lord Jesus came to our world from heaven (John 3:13). When He went back into heaven after His death and resurrection, He left His followers who became the €œliving temple€ of God, of which He is the foundation. The apostle Paul says, €œFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ€ (1 Cor. 3:11).

The church building in Bavaria is built on a foundation from pieces of rock from the physical heavens. But the spiritual church €”all believers in Christ's founded on the ultimate heavenly foundation, Christ Jesus (Isa. 28:16; 1 Cor. 10:3-4). Praise God that because of what Jesus has done our salvation is secure.
On Christ salvation rests secure;
The Rock of Ages will endure;
Nor can that faith be overthrown
Which rests upon the €œLiving Stone.

Christ, the Rock, is our sure hope.
