When I first started to chase after Jesus I was given a trade and a place to live by a great family. I learned carpentry, and so much more.
Jesus was a carpenter as well and I thought of this everyday, every time I swung my hammer. But I knew everything I ever built would one day disapear. Nothing withstands time, expect for God.
This past summer during my stay in Tanzania I made bricks for a house. I was surrounded my craftsmen using nothing more than mud, sand and water. As hard as they worked, and as good a job they did, they were only building a temporary shelter.
Jesus teaches us to build a dwelling that will never depart.
When we are the temple of Jesus, we are the house built on the rock. No matter what comes, our home will not be shaken. Our homes can never be destroyed.
Look at your house today. What are you built of? The temporary, or the eternal?
