“...Upon this
Rock I will build My Church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it!”
~Matthew 16:18
In a day of ‘sinking sand’ it is good to know that our Hope is
built on an unmovable Rock. The above Scripture talks about the Church being
build upon a Rock. The question may arise, “Who is the Rock?” Know that The
Rock was, the Rock is, and the Rock always shall be! We hear about this Rock in
Deut. 32:3 “...Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. Vs4 He is the
Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of Truth
and without iniquity, just and right is He.” All through Scripture we hear
about the Rock. I believe the Lord would inspire us in this Message if we
‘hear’ what the Scripture is saying to us.
We need to know that we are grounded-safe-secure; as we see the ‘signs’
of the time – There is a time of evil; which if we have read the Scriptures, we
know that God has burned up a city for less sin then reins in our society
today! What is staying the hand of God from the wickedness of our world, His
Grace, His Mercy, His Everlasting Love for His people. The People of the
Rock! Questions arise, are we wise men
& women, are we building our house upon the Rock? Only a house [talking
spiritually here] that is built upon the Rock can stand against the winds of
adversity, the floods of trouble, the vehement heat of strife and
discontentment in our day. Such things unfolded as the Israelites wondered in
the wilderness – but then see who was with them! 1 Cor 10:4 They “...did all
drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that Spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Jesus the Chief Corner Stone is
the power that holds us firm in the Fathers hand. No wonder the Psalmist sings,
“He is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my defense, I shall not be moved!” Loving you, Pastor
