Ephesians 2:21 May 31, 2013

Marge Hauser
Ephesians 2:21

In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

It is hard to separate this verse from yesterday's devotion (Ephesians 2:19,20) as well as tomorrow's (Ephesians 2:22). The meaning of the three verses together is clear and so important.

It seems to me the key word in this verse is "together". The Lord is in this place building us up to be His people together in this church and in this community. The Lord is in this place guiding the hands and minds of skilled workers to together build a new Fellowship Hall that will glorify Him. The Lord is in this place showing us how to love each other and work together honoring our differences and serving Him in the world.

To be a "Holy" place, we cannot build and grow in our faith without His presence. Christ is the one who holds the whole building together to make it grow into a sacred place.

Prayer. Thank you God, for being our Chief Engineer, our church always be your Holy Temple.
