DAY 13 OF 21

The Jesus Driven Life 

"By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundations other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 3:10-11) 

Paul is writing to the early church in Corinth about division amongst them. Some claimed to follow the teachings of Paul and others the teaching of Apollos. Paul calls them out because both Paul and Apollos are merely men there to serve them in their belief. Ultimately, we can only have one foundation and that is Jesus. 

No one, in all of history, has ever been able to improve on the teachings of Jesus. They are greatest words ever spoken. There can be no greater calling than to build a life around what he taught and what he did. And the prayer is that we would be formed into expert builders, building a life that has eternal impact - beyond this life.  

We long to build a life full of meaning and purpose. We want my work to matter in this life and beyond. When you think about our current cultural moment, the amount of information available to us is greater than any generation before. The number of books, podcasts, and news outlets out there seem to be endless. We could easily second guess every choice we make because a better thought or ideation is right around the corner. But in Jesus, we have an eternal foundation. We can build off His work our own life and use it to bless the lives of others. 

Prayer: 

Lord, thank you that in Jesus we have a life full of meaning and purpose. Make us more like Christ and help us to build on His teaching and His work. Come Holy Spirit and reveal how we can be like Paul, expert builders, to build for your Kingdom. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
