"For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God." Hebrews 3:3-4
Here's an important message pointing us towards the source.
There are many things out there in the world today that look very good. We can even talk about the different buildings that house churches, some that are quite detailed and marvelous to look at. We can talk about the many different ministries that are out there, doing so much good in the world. We can refer to different people who are making a difference out there. All of this, though, can cause us to stray from the source of all the good things in our lives.
Jesus even took time to point this out quite directly. He pointed to different structures and said that they will all disappear in the end. In the same way, we can see that all of these different things around us will have their end. I remember Boston, which had many large church buildings all over, but after the congregations had died out, there were buildings left over. Many were converted into apartment complexes, rendering the old presence of a once thriving congregation completely dead and out of memory. We can look at history to find many other stories of great wonders being destroyed. Talk about the World Wars, when we have lost many great structures in many different places because of conflict.
However, when we see these great successes around us, we need to remember that they all stem from the same source, God. God is the one who has made all these things great, and God will continue to work. That will involve a cycle of life and death with buildings, ministries, churches, families, friendships, and many other things. The most important things, though, is to remember to praise God in every moment. God has everything under control. Let's praise God for that!
