Whose Responsibility Is It to Build the Church?

“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”

1 PETER 1:18-19

Ponder This

A pearl is formed by an irritant in the side of the clam or the oyster. And then it is covered with a beautiful substance called nacre, layer upon layer upon layer until it becomes something beautiful. A diamond can be divided, and an emerald can be divided, but not a pearl. For the Church is one body indivisible in the Lord Jesus Christ, and Jesus is the One who, with the silver of His tears and the gold of His blood, bought the pearl of great price. And just as a pearl is taken from the depths of the ocean to realms of light, Jesus lifted us. As the pearl goes from something ugly to something beautiful, that’s what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for you and me. Jesus has paid the price. If He has done all of that, you can trust Jesus to build His Church.

Christ is and will be victorious. The frustrations with the world do not need to discourage you. Jesus is building His Church. You can bank on it.

Why is it important to continually remember the great cost Jesus paid for our sin?
What are some things that discourage you about the Church? How does the hope that Jesus has promised to build His Church encourage you?
