Ephesians 2:19-20 -- On Foundations and Fellowcitizens

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"
Ephesians 2:19-20


I like the idea of being part of the household of God, and the idea that as part of his household, there are no strangers and foreigners among us.  We are all one... part of each other.  Citizens of God's country. :)  It's a powerful idea, and one that I think can help us reach and think beyond the borders and concerns of the world.

I also really like the idea of building upon the foundation that God has laid for us of apostles and prophets, and himself.  I think we often unwisely build houses of straw that can too easily be blown down by the wolves around us, but when we have God helping us to build, and we build on what he has started, we begin with sturdier stuff.  In fact, Helaman 5:12 tells us that this is "a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

I like the idea of not being *able* to fall, if we choose wisely and build our lives upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, and apostles and prophets.  Today, let's remember that we are part of each other, and that if we build on the right foundation, we cannot fall.
