Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cFor Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses\u2014as much more glory as the builder <\/em>of a house has more honor than the house itself.\u201d (Hebrews 3:3 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KATASKEUAZO (2680): <\/strong>\u201cTo prepare, make ready:\u201d (kata<\/em>, used intensively, skeue<\/em>, \u201cequipment\u201d), and is translated \u201cbuild\u201d in Heb. 3:3.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus started the church and introduced love into the world when He died on the cross.  Moses\u2019 purpose led people to God and helped illustrate why we need Christ.  Only Jesus has the building blocks for the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ became flesh; He understands the human condition, calling us siblings.  As the Son of God, Jesus shares the title of Lord.  Christ\u2019s actions create the connector which attaches us to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we vacationed, I used an automatic watering system for my flowers.  Clear tubes connected with tiny plastic t\u2019s went to each plant, the other end connected to a pump attached to the water.  Every 6 hours, the small motor ran for two minutes, watering my impatiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliable parts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus started the church and gave us the tools to build it.  Following Christ\u2019s instruction, we will enlarge God\u2019s kingdom.  Remember, Jesus spent His early life as a carpenter; He knows how to build.  All builders know that the more reliable the parts, the better the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My watering system had reliable parts, which allowed my flowers to thrive in our absence.  The pump connecting the tubes to the water source worked well.  Jesus connects us to the living water, joining us with the endless supply of love from above. We refresh others with the overflow of love God pours into our lives. Building your life with Jesus will give you a sturdy structure to survive the storm winds.  Applying Christ\u2019s teaching to everyday life will help you thrive.  Living in the moment will help you enjoy life to the fullest, basking in the Son\u2019s rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
