Alot of Work Goes Into the First Block

 

 

God provides a lot of folks to get prepared for the first block.  I have been blogging now for over five years and each time it amazes me how many folks it takes to get ready for the laying of the first block.  The cornerstones are formed and in this case it is for the house of the Lord.  Our Lord is the Chief Cornerstone of our lives.  HE is the Perfect I AM.  This four cornerstones have to be near to perfection to continue a good work and a level foundation for the 900 blocks which will be laid throughout the week ahead.  The sand has to be sifted to get all the rock and trash out to go into the concrete mixture and water which forms what our Honduran brothers and sisters call mescal.  The ground where the mixture goes has to been clean as well.  So debris does not get into the mixture.  This is the same with our lives in the Lord.  We need to clean and get out anything which keeps us from being pure and blameless in the eyes of Christ.  We need to clean areas in our lives just as the people cleaned the area were the mescal will go which helps form and connect each block which is placed on the foundation.  First of all our foundation in Christ needs to be solid and clean and pure and blameless so others can see Jesus in us.  Just like building this church we are building our lives on a solid foundation found only in Jesus Christ.  This also takes time to do. Daily cleansing of ourselves before our Heavenly Father so we can stand on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.  We need to get all the trash out of our lives which keeps us from focusing on HIM who died for our sins. There is only one water we need to be cleansed with and this is the Holy water of baptizing which if you have not received Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Savior and you are reading this please cleanse yourself with the purest holy water of all found only in Jesus Christ.  Do not let this day go by and not receive the sweetest gift of all JESUS!!!!!!

 

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:20

From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
