New Home Construction

Today I read these words from Paul's letter to the church in Ephesis:
      Christ is building you into a place where God lives through the Spirit. (2:22)

So we are Christ's construction projects.  Christ is making us dwellings for God to inhabit.
In most our cases this is  remodeling and renovation work.  Sometimes dwellings have to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Such is the work of Christ in us!

I think we would all live differently and more fully alive if we continually reminded ourselves that we are Christ's construction projects.

Charles Wesley catches to message of Paul's words in the hymn, "O Come and Dwell in Me":
                      O come and dwell in me, Spirit of power within,
                      and bring the glorious victory from sorrow, fear and sin.
                                   UM Hymnal #388, verse 1

The journey we are on is a construction project of the work of God grace!
