Description

1 Corinthians 3:11 says no one can lay any foundation other than Jesus Christ. What makes him different is that every other founder stayed in the grave, asked you to die for their cause, and left you climbing; Jesus left an empty tomb, went to the cross for you first, and said "It is finished." On his first day in Israel, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto pointed at a man in flowing robes and asked who he was. The tour guide said: that's the Messiah. Stay long enough and you'll see a few. So if that many people make the claim, how do you know which foundation will hold your weight? This message is for anyone who has quietly wondered who Jesus actually is. For anyone whose worth rides up and down with a good quarter and a bad one. For anyone who keeps re-pouring the concrete every Monday.
