Two of the four definitions of the word ‘Pillar’ in the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary are
1. a firm upright support for a superstructure and
2. a supporting, integral, or upstanding member or part
The Bible informs us that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Timothy 3:14). You and I who believe in Jesus Christ, are the church which is a pillar. We must be firm and upright as God has made us (Ecclesiastes 7:29) so that we can support and be an integral upstanding member that holds up Jesus Christ.
Points(s) to ponder:
How are you and I as pillars of God? Are we firm and not falling to our own inventions/schemes? Those who stand firm till the end shall be saved (Matthew 24:13). Are we upright and supportive as an integral part of the body of Jesus Christ?
