Jesus—The Master Builder

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in
me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be
where I am.” (John 14:1-3)

The Savior has been gone for two thousand years, and has not yet
returned to this earth to receive His people to Himself.  So what is the plan for His people on earth
between His going and coming?

He is still focused on the plan He had over 2,000 years ago when
he said, “…I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome
it.” (Matthew 16:18b)  The head of
the body is building His church during this time.  The process of establishing local churches in
cross-cultural environments is difficult at best, but not impossible because
Jesus is the Master church builder.

Everyone has the privilege and responsibility of serving the head
of the church, and participating in His plan as we wait for His return.  Each of us has spiritual gifts and natural
talents God has given to us.   Jesus, the
church builder, uses all kinds of people and talents as special tools to build
the church around the world.

Please pray that we will keep focused on His plan for this church
age.  Work willingly as His tool.  Wait
patiently for His return.
