The Rock House of Jesus Christ

by Van Robison

Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone of His Rock House. Without Him there would be no building. In this case, the building is not made with hands, but is a spiritual entity. Not only is Jesus Christ the Foundation, but He is also the one and only Head of His Rock House--the Body. All man-made institutions are made of shifting sands, which is to say that they will all eventually crumble. There is nothing eternal or everlasting about man-conceived organizations and institutions. Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall in the realm of human beings, but the Kingdom of God is everlasting.

All who belong to Jesus Christ are living stones of the Rock House of Jesus Christ. It is Christ Himself who places each living stone in the Rock House where He wants each placed. Each stone is beautiful, a marvel of the handiwork of the Builder--Jesus Christ. Each living stone is hand-picked, the rough edges chipped away, and the shape is transformed, the living stone is polished, and made to shine for the glory of the Father/Jesus Christ. Christ is the Architect of the most beautiful and glorious Rock House ever built. In this awesome and most spectacular Rock House, the Father/Christ is the Light that shines forever. There is no need of sun, moon, stars or electricity to light this Rock House, because Jesus Christ is the Light, more brilliant than the sun. The living stones of this magnificent work of art will never fade, never have to be replaced, and never be dull.

The Rock House that Jesus Christ is building will stand strong for all eternity. His building will never wear away, the cement will never crumble, the floors will never crack, and His Rock House will be forever secure. In this Christ-built Rock House, there will be no tears, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, and no more death (Revelation 21: 4-5), because the former things are passed away, and God makes all things NEW. It is the only Rock House that will be left standing when all others fade away into oblivion.
