Jesus Christ, Our Foundation

 "For other foundation can no man lay that that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."  I Corinthians 3:11.  The long standing of the house will be determined by the foundation upon which the house is built.  So, the foundation of our spiritual life must be built upon Jesus Christ.  The success, happiness, and fulfillment of our life will be permanently set if we build upon Christ.  This foundation has already been laid, and no man is to lay a different foundation.  Christ is the true foundation.  Jesus is the solid foundation.  This foundation which has been laid by Jesus Christ is the foundation of redemption and salvation.  All hope for eternity must be built in Christ.  This foundation is one of assurance and conviction.  The foundation will withstand the passage of ages.  No storm can destroy it.  The winds of doctrinal change cannot alter it.  The assualt of Satan cannot undermine it.  The foundation has been tested through times gone, and yet, firm and true it stands.  The security of the foundation is in the power of the Almighty.  The foundation has been laid in the blood of the Savior.  Build upon the foundation of Jesus Christ and know joy forevermore.

Jesus, Our High Priest

 "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession."  Hebrews 4:14.  We can hold fast because Jesus is our high priest.  We can continue in the Christian faith because Jesus is our high priest.  God has made it so that we can continue to fight and overcome.  Burdens will come, but Jesus is our high priest.  Satan will assualt us, but Jesus is our high priest.  Jesus is a great high priest for he does not serve in our behalf upon the earth, but has passed into the heavens.   In the clouds, he ascended unto his heavenly Father, and took his place at the right hand of the throne of God.  From that throne, he makes intercession for us.  He continually offers his blood as the remedy for all sin.  With that blood, he sealed the covenant that declares him as our high priest.  His priesthood is greater and far superior to any that existed prior to his being seated on the throne of the Almighty.  That throne upon which he sits is established forever.  His priesthood is an unchangeable priesthood.  None will succeed him.  Jesus, the Son of God, is our high priest from now until time shall be no more.  

Walk After Him Commandments

 "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."  II John6.  To walk is to keep in step with one in submission of heart.  The one with whom we are to keep step is Jesus Christ.  We are to walk in a manner that others will be able to follow.  God's commandments are the guiding light of our journey.  We are to be in obedience to God's commandments or His law.  To truly love God, we will keep His will.  The commandment has been delivered unto us from the beginning.  The Christian life begins in the doing of God's law.  The law of God is a perfect law.  It does not and will not fail. The law will bring prosperity and happiness.  Those who love God are loved by Him. He will supply our needs never leaving nor forsaking us.  Jesus is a friend that abides, and understands our weaknesses.  When we are weak and faint, Jesus brings us power and courage.  Keeping the commandments will keep us from sin.  God's commandments lead us in a good and right way.. Keeping the commanments will preserve our character, and insure our destiny.  Walking in the commandments leads us to heaven to live with God forever.
