What’s Underneath?

Matthew 16:16,18 (NKJV)
“Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”=

As we observe other people in our day-to-day lives, we of course see the outside of the body – the hair, the clothes, the skin. Only if we know them might we know what’s going on inside. The outward appearance does not reveal whether they are strong and healthy or have some ailment that threatens health and life at the core. As followers of Jesus, we know what and Who our strong foundation is.
Ephesians 2:20 scripture tells us that the household of God is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
When the foundation is solid and secure, when the cornerstone is square, the whole structure being raised up shall be solid, secure, and square, whether it is a house, a skyscraper, or your life. Come storm or high water, such a structure will not fall.

Querido Padre Celestial,
I thank You for revealing Jesus as the Messiah to Peter and me. Help me climb down from the throne of my life to relinquish the lordship of my life to Jesus. Forgive my failure to crucify my flesh. Show me how I can make my confession of Jesus as Lord more and more true each day. Make me a part and show me how to better serve as part of the body of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
