Jesus is

Jesus is
The Son of the Living God

Jesus is
The Savior of the world

We -- those who belong to Him --
We are
The church of the Living God

Jesus is
The chief cornerstone, the elect, precious

We are
His children, His servants

Jesus is
The Pillar
-- of strength
-- of witness
-- of judgment
-- of power
-- of refuge
-- of rejection
-- of love
-- of temptation
-- of death
-- of promise
-- of comfort
-- of destruction
-- of hatred
-- of revelation
-- of renewal
-- of change
-- of choices
-- of obedience
-- of condemnation
-- of persecution
-- of endurance

We -- those who belong to Him
and those who do not --
We are
partakers of all life holds
and
we stumble along the way

Jesus is
The Foundation
of Truth
of Life Eternal

Jesus is The Stone
The Living Stone
The Chosen Stone

We are but pebbles in the brook.

In Paul's writing to Timothy (1 Timothy 3:15), he says "but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
