We the Church are the Foundation of Truth

Metaphor: Foundation of Truth

Concept: The Church here is depicted as that which holds up or makes the truth real to people. The truth here is Jesus Christ.
1 Tim 3:15-16  if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. NIV

We the people of God are the living stones (I Peter 2:5) which make up the household or building of God with Jesus as our foundation. Christ is the alone "ground" of the truth in the highest sense (1 Cor 3:11).

It is not the buildings we meet in that proclaim the greatness of our God, but it is the transforming of our lives that witnesses that our God lives and that He alone can transform us into His likeness.

The old line from people who did not want to go to church was that they did not want to go and be around all of those hypocrites. The comeback could be, ‘that should make anyone who is not perfect feel right at home.’

People learn more about Jesus from our lives, which are a combination of our deeds and words. Today let’s you and I demonstrate His mercy and goodness even if we show our own failings from time to time!
