Where someone builds a house affects the way they build it right?
WELL ...
I've been reading through the gospel of Matthew and the analogy I've heard a thousand times came up. The Wise Man who build his house on the Rock, and the foolish man who builds his on the sand. The way that Jesus then talks about the wise mans foundations being on the rock. Being fully built on the rock.
This means for me; I need to live like I am built ON the rock of Jesus. I can't build my life around the rock, my foundations will crumble and fall. This should shape and change me, as I said at the start, where someone builds a house affects the way they build it right? Its true with my life as well, if my life is built on solid, beautiful and wonderful foundations this should shape the way I live.
I should be living with eternity in mind all the time, I should be living with my morals in check, for I live ON the rock. Not just a few things need to change, the entire way I build my house needs to have SOLID foundations.
I also enjoy the picture of Jesus as a rock. Unchanging. Stable. Trustworthy.
P.S. I'm really sorry, I feel like I've rambled, and the articulation of my non-formed thoughts isn't great either. Hope you still take something from this.
I bet that picture portrayed him as a white. He wasn't. Jesus was an arab. The same arabs that millions of christians see as filth. Christianity has been so fucking westernized that there's no point it even being a religion anymore.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I quite understand which picture you're talking about there, but in no way do I think any Christian that is called on to love every person of all the world should be thinking of anyone as filth. So maybe the people your thinking of don't really have the love of Christ.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, Christianity has become very westernized and I don't like it either.
