How will I rebuild my life?

If you know by now that Jesus is with you in every moment, that you’re righteous in Him, and that He is your escape – also believe that with Jesus, your life can be totally restored.

Many times, Jesus is referred to as our “rock” in the Bible. Verses like Psalm 18:2, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust,” give us the picture of God being our firm foun­dation, but what makes this foundation strong enough for the church? Or, what makes this foundation strong enough to build our lives on?

You may have heard that the name Peter means “rock.”

This foundation, this “rock” that Jesus told us to build the church on was Himself. So when we say, “Jesus is our rock and our firm foundation,” He actually IS our rock and firm foundation. This Rock is stronger than even the wages of death.

If the keys of the kingdom have been given to you (Matthew 16:19), then it is time you unlock the Kingdom in your world. It is time to unlock the Kingdom of the Rock: a foundation of freedom, life, grace, and love. The kingdom is a firm foundation.

Just before Jesus changed Peter’s name from Simon to Peter, Jesus had asked His disciples a question. He asked, “Who do you say that I am?” And Peter responded, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” I love Peter’s response here, because it put Jesus in His rightful place, acknowledg­ing the power and authority of who He is.

Friend, instead of dwelling on death, shortcomings, or personal failures, put Jesus in His rightful place in your life; acknowl­edge His power and authority.
