As Jesus left and was going out of the temple, his disciples came up and called his attention to its buildings.
He replied to them, “Do you see all these things? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down.” (Matthew 24:1-2)
I was thinking this morning about how proud the Jews were of their temple, of how beautiful it was.
And yet it would be torn down for one important reason: they had rejected their Lord. (Matthew 23:29-39)
It made me think: What foundation are my “accomplishments” built on? The things I am proud of, are they built on the foundation of Christ? That he is my Lord? Is he the one I love and am trying to please?
Jesus, let all I do be built on this foundation: You are Lord. My life is yours and I love you. Let me be that faithful servant, every day doing what you’ve told me to do.
