A House That Cannot Fall
"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." – Hebrews 12:28
Every structure has a lifespan. Buildings we thought would stand forever eventually crumble. Even the most beautiful houses on earth have cracks hidden beneath the paint. But Scripture promises that what God is building will never fall. You are not just being shaped into a spiritual stone—you are being placed in a house that will last for eternity. This is the great hope of the Christian life: not only are we forgiven and made new, but we are being built into something indestructible, a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Peter reminds us that Jesus, the Cornerstone, was rejected by men but chosen and precious to God. His rejection became our redemption. Because He was cast aside, we are now being carefully fitted into His eternal temple. When life feels unstable—when relationships fracture, finances crumble, or health fails—you can stand firm because your foundation is not this world; it is Christ Himself. The storms will come, but the house He builds will endure.
You are part of a story far greater than your own. The church is not just a building or a Sunday event; it is the eternal dwelling place of God. And one day, what He started in you will be complete. Every stone will be in place. Every life redeemed will testify to His glory. The temple God is building will never crack, never collapse, and never fade.
Reflection Question
How does knowing you are part of an unshakable, eternal house change the way you view the instability and uncertainty of your life today?
“When Christ is the Cornerstone, you’re not just building something temporary—you’re being built into something that will last forever.”
Prayer
Lord, thank You for making me part of something eternal. When my life feels unstable, remind me that I am being built into Your unshakable house. Teach me to rest in Your design, trust Your placement, and live with eternity in view. May my life and my church stand as a testimony to Your glory forever. Amen.
