Christ’s Construction Project

 Ecclesiastes 1-3; Psalms. 45; Ephesians 2 

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do…For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility…His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace…in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”

Ephesians 2:10, 14, 15, 22

Jesus is in the construction business. He has torn down the walls of hostility and barriers between people groups and between us and God. He has prepared and designed good works and projects for us to join with him. We ourselves are a piece of work that is under construction as we yield our lives and our wills to God. Those who offer themselves to God are being built together in his kingdom to become a corporate spiritual dwelling which expresses and contains the very presence of God. This massive, global building project is called the Church. Jesus is building his Church and nothing will stop this project.

Have we asked for and received our work assignments in this construction project?

Do we understand how we fit in and where we are to serve?

“Lord Jesus, it is your building project; I offer myself to you, for your glory.”
