A Thing of Beauty, a Joy Forever!
Look at this beautiful flower, I think it's lily.
My wife planted it long ago, it only flowered two days ago!
Life is like that, wait for it, it will surely come.
My wife and I are attending a night class in the Bible College of Malaysia on "Introduction to Christian Counselling". We are really blessed to know that we are in a big family and everyone of us are like building blocks in a building and Christ being the cornerstone.
1 Peter 2:5-7 (NKJV)
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “ Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” 7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “ The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”
As members of the big family, we are to support one another by encouragement, comforting, bearing one another's burden. This is the basis on which we can together grow into Christ's image, to be holy.
Ephesians 4:15 "but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."
What a beautiful picture! If all of us can join together like that, the Lord Jesus shall be very pleased when He shall come for His Bride one day for the Church is His Bride!
We can start from ourselves! When we want others to be nice to us, we have first to be nice to others!
