Eph 2:20-23 …built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ himself as the chief cornerstone. In him ,the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Apostle Paul compares the Christian church to a household or a family. The foundation – that is the ground plan, is built on the doctrine taught by the prophets and the Apostles. Christ himself is not only the builder but the chief cornerstone. He is the capstone that holds the entire building together. Without such a corner stone, the building would collapse.
Believers are the living stones ( 1 Pe 2:5) from which God has built the temple. We have been built together into one building, one Church. We are united with each other and the Holy Spirit lives in us. God has built his temple so that he can dwell in it.
Christian friends, the physical buildings are closed but the church is still opened. Christ is the head of the church. The church is alive and well!
