Title: The wise architect
Introduction
***What is the most important thing when you are trying to build a church or a house?
It's ter. Catching up is the most important thing.
In verse 11, it is Jesus.
This trembling is “Jesus Christ”
Matthew 16:18 And I say to you, you are Peter.
I'm on this rock
I will build my church, and the powers of Hades will not prevail against it.
Matthew 7:25 The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and the house
It strikes, but it does not fall, for it lays the foundation upon the rock.
ointment laid
1 Corinthians 10:4 They all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
Therefore, when building the church and building the house,
It must be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Only then can we overcome any tribulation and the powers of Hades.
A fool, on the other hand, builds his house on sand.
To build a house on sand is to decay and perish.
Building a house on worthless things.
The worthless things that will perish and perish
When the time is right, it will collapse.
exhortation) Therefore, only we
Jesus Christ, our hope
You have to build a house on it.
***After that, a beautiful and harmonious blueprint
must be drawn.
Who draws the blueprints?
God draws
God designed the whole world
You lead the world according to its design.
That blueprint is the Bible, the Word.
There are people who live a life according to the Word.
That person is Jesus.
He was sent to save us according to the word
He was obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.
Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, must be like this.
It is natural for us to live according to the Word.
God through the Word
You have to be able to go when you say go and stop when you say stop.
*** There are people who have received those blueprints.
That person is Moses, the representative of the Old Testament.
God gave Moses the most precious blueprint.
That is the tabernacle.
It is the tabernacle that is the gospel seen with the eyes.
The tabernacle is a blueprint drawn by God himself.
Therefore, the structure of the tabernacle
Humans cannot change it at will.
Those who were judged by God by changing the structure of the temple
King Hezekiah's father Ahaz
Modifying the blueprint God gave you at will
There seems to be no
leave out what's
So, in the end, there is a big judgment.
The big interpretation of this blueprint is the Bible.
Therefore, in the Bible, the blueprint given by God,
There seems to be no
Remove what is and then
In the end, you will receive great judgment.
Ex) In the book of Revelation, we are warned not to add or subtract
***Paul, representative of the New Testament
Let's look at verse 10.
“I laid the foundation like a wise builder”
Here, “the wise builder” means
A person who oversees construction.
The church also has overseers.
The supervisor sees only the blueprints
It must be directed according to the blueprint.
You should not ignore the blueprint and direct your own thoughts.
*If you ignore the blueprint and direct your own
What will happen?
There is no completion inspection.
Ex) Each denomination has its own doctrine and theological interpretation.
All are slightly different.
But if there's something to do before all of that
That's the Bible.
What precedes the Bible in this world
Nothing exists.
*** Then you need to use the material well.
Workers, that is, saints, must use materials well.
Let's look at verses 12-13.
“If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, or straw, each one’s work will be revealed, and the day will reveal his work, which will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test each one’s work.”
*** There are advanced materials.
Gold, silver and treasure.
It was put on fire several times to refine
made purely
It says patience.
It refers to perseverance in keeping faith in the midst of tribulation and persecution.
ex) A boxer must pass the weigh-in
like we can compete
You have to be patient with everything you want to eat and sleep.
You can get a reward.
The word is said to be unchanging.
The word does not change even one jot or one jot.
The word is the law.
You must race according to the law.
Example) Ben Johnson, winner of the 100-meter run at the 1988 Olympic Games in 1988
Disqualification Why? taking drugs
No reward for not racing according to the law
Caluis, who raced according to the law, was rewarded.
Therefore, race according to the law
***There are materials that cannot be rewarded.
It's not being patient.
When tribulation and persecution come
If you do not persevere, you will not be rewarded.
doing something illegal.
Matthew 7:15, 22-23
“Beware of false prophets.
I come to you in sheep's clothing
Inside is a plundering wolf .
On that day many said to me, Lord, Lord,
We prophesy in your name, and in your name
Have you not cast out demons and done many mighty works in your name?
Then I will say to them plainly, I will
You do not know, you who practice lawlessness,
I will tell you to go away from me.”
According to the will of God, according to the intention of the designer
not according to the design
You can't get the completion inspection because you do what you think
that he was doing something illegal.
Therefore, you should always be careful
As the designer intended, according to the blueprint
You need to check what you are doing.
***There are times when aggression appears.
We believers must prepare three things.
Always be ready for death,
Prepare for the Tribulation to Come
Prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus
Judgment Day will surely come.
Start building and when it's done
The Inspector, the Lord Jesus Christ,
He will come to inspect the building.
No one is an exception.
Everyone is the Lord Jesus Christ
will stand in front.
And the Lord tested their work,
You will be inspected.
Everything will be revealed.
There is nothing to fear though.
If you act according to the law and speak according to the law
Jesus will stand and greet you.
Ex) Acts 7 Stephen
Martyrdom while preaching the word according to the Bible
Jesus Stands and Meets
So speak according to the Bible
If you live according to the Bible, there is nothing to worry about.
You will only get a big prize.
Accepted as the Son of God (Galatians 4:4-7)
You have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Put on a glorious body (Philippians 3:11)
Find eternal rest and peace (Hebrews 4:9)
Obtained an incorruptible crown (1 Corinthians 9:25)
Obtained the crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8)
Received the crown of glory (1 Peter 5:4)
Received the throne and privilege to rule forever (Revelation 20:4, 22:5)
Received the privilege of encircling the throne of God (Revelation 7:9-13; 20:4)
***If the believer burns with his work, he will be harmed.
he is saved
The reward will be lost and it will look like a burnt down building.
It is a “shameful” salvation that only one body was rescued from the fire.
*** Verses 10-15 refer to building a house, but
In verses 16-17, on the contrary, God
References to “breaking things down”
the church at least
It can be destroyed in two ways:
1. Complaining and complaining in the church
It's about fighting and arguing.
These people destroy spiritual fellowship within the church.
2. Like all other lives
They only state their opinions.
It is quite self-assertive.
Excessive self-assertion to the character of other saints
do damage
Makes others sympathize.
As a result, assertive, small factions
start to divide.
Then the church
Soon they will be divided into factions that do not associate with each other.
It will lead you down the road to destruction.
*** What we definitely need to know at this time
whoever defiles the temple
They will be destroyed by a terrible judgment.
Example) A person who sprinkled dung in the temple
In my whole life, like this shit
doing something to spray
whatever you plant
He will surely reap what he sows.
So always be careful before doing anything
before I say my thoughts and my will
You must depend on the Holy Spirit.
Because only the Holy Spirit makes spiritual fellowship possible.
Only those who have spiritual fellowship with the Holy Spirit love and
united in unity and unity
Because we can unite.
conclusion
The most important thing when building a house or a church is
That is, it must be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
Building on the foundation of Jesus Christ
It means building according to God's blueprint.
That is the Bible.
Living according to the Bible is living according to the blueprint.
If you ignore the blueprint, you will not be able to receive the completion inspection.
You will not get any reward for your hard work.
There is a supervisor looking at the blueprint.
If the overseer oversees according to the scriptures
You must trust and respect that supervisor.
Also, no matter what difficulties come
unchanging, unshakable
Fight the good fight by faith.
Then on the last day
from God
You will receive the crown of righteousness and the crown of glory.
God said that you will reap what you sow.
If you sow good in the church, you will reap good.
If you plant divisions and factions in the church,
His body will also be split from head to toe.
Therefore, you have to be careful and be careful.
Our beloved saints
On the foundation of Jesus Christ, according to the blueprint
Building with good materials and receiving great rewards
to be saints
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, who lived according to the words of the Bible.
