Jesus Our Rock

In ABF we discussed "Jesus, Our Rock." We talked about several of the most famous rock formations in the world...Stonehenge, Mount Rushmore, the Pyramids...and how they are all man-made and were built as objects that display power. But, it is fleeting power. Jesus Christ is our solid rock, our firm foundation. He represents life, security and stability.

Unfortunately, even though we are Christian's, some of us live in the dark. We don't take advantage of the abundant life that has been provided through Jesus Christ our ROCK. I looked up the definition of rock (believe me, I've got the time)...a lump or mass of hard consolidated mineral matter. No matter how a human shapes it, its characteristics never change. Isaiah 51:1 says, "Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord; Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn." If Jesus is our Savior, we were cut from THE Rock and were hewn from HIS quarry. Try and get your mind around that!
