Now, let’s go back to Ephesians chapter 2 as we read verse 19-22 and close this wonderful teaching today. Verse 19 now, look what it says of Ephesians 2, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God”. God calls Israel “saints”, “the household of God”. He sees them complete in Christ His Son. And we are a part now, we are in the family. “And are built upon the foundation” verse 20 says, “of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone”.
Ephesians 2:19-20 clearly states that Jews and Gentiles are “fellowcitizens” built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Jesus as the cornerstone, Jesus the Master is called “the chief cornerstone”. A chief cornerstone joins two walls together. That’s the whole reason for the chief cornerstone. We are the house but the walls are joined together by a chief cornerstone. The Jews are one wall, we are another wall but the joining of these walls comes together because of the chief cornerstone, which joins the walls together. At the bottom of the wall are the foundations stones and Paul tells us the foundations stones are the apostles and prophets. But one stone is the cornerstone where both walls meet. And that cornerstone is Jesus, the Master. The whole reason for the cornerstone is because there are Jews and Gentiles. If only the Gentiles were the church, there would be no need for a cornerstone. The cornerstone connects both together. Hallelujah!
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God”. (Ephesians 2:19)
First Kings 6:7-8 the Word of God declares, “And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. [8] The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.” This is thrilling. The Bible clearly declares that the Holy Spirit takes every believer and makes him fit right in his part. That’s right. First Kings 6:7-8 “And the house”, now this of course, talked about the temple of Solomon but we are the house of God. When it was in building, the Holy Spirit building the church “was built of stone”, that’s you, that’s I, “made ready”, “made ready”. I repeat, “made ready before it was brought thither”. That’s right, God Almighty has already prepared you and I to be a part of His building. “So that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.” All the work was complete before. That’s why I tell you the work was done “before the foundation of the world.” God spoke it into existence. The Holy Spirit has prepared every believer and now we are in the process of building. He’s putting us where we belong in the body, in the building. First Kings 6:8, “The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.” Even where the door was, was prepared. And remember the door is the Master. There’s much more I want to share with you on the wonderful teaching we’ll have from Ephesians chapter 3.
Thank you for being my partner and friend. And I pray this teaching will enrich your life. I pray the Lord will bring you into greater depths in His Word as you walk with Him. Father, I give you praise for your Word, I thank you for giving me my partner to stand as we stand together for you, Lord, bring your gospel to the ends of the earth. I pray, Lord, today, that your Anointing and blessing will rest upon your saint, in Jesus’ name, amen and amen. God bless you! Again, a million thanks for what you’re doing for His glory.
