Episode 264 - The Foundation that Lasts Forever

After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, much of the city had to be rebuilt. As architects began designing new buildings, they paid far greater attention to strong foundations and fire-resistant construction. The disaster taught an unforgettable lesson: what is beneath the surface determines what will remain.The Bible teaches the same truth. First Corinthians 3:11 says, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Careers, possessions, and accomplishments all have value, but none of them can serve as the foundation of a life. Only Jesus Christ is strong enough to support us in this life and prepare us for eternity.Every one of us is building something with our lives. The question is not whether we are building, but what we are building upon. Make sure your foundation is Jesus Christ.
