In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the
Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
"I will have to remove it," he said to the architect. "No, you won't," was the reply. "If I buy the
house, I can do whatever I wish," said the man. "You cannot do whatever you wish with the
cupboard," answered the architect. "Why not?" he asked. "Is it protected by some clause in
the deed?" "No," said the architect, "it is not on the deed: it is on the plan. You cannot take the
cupboard down without taking down the house; it is a part of the main structure." So it is with
Christ. He is our life. He is our hope. He is our joy.
(Ephesians 2.21
NRSV)
Greenland tells the story of visiting a vacant home with a friend who desired to purchase it.
His friend was particularly struck with the beauty of one room which he wished to turn into his
study; but he objected to a cupboard in the corner.
Dear Jesus, it is such a blessing to have you as the main structure of my life. Amen.
