Dear friends in Christ grace and peace to you. The message for this week comes from
1 Peter 2:2-10.
In the late 1970’s the rock band Pink Floyd had a hit song entitled “Another Brick in The Wall.” It was an anti-establishment song. The lyrics suggest that one not necessarily believe everything you are told or taught, that you need to think for yourself otherwise you’re just another brick in the wall.
As I drive around the countryside I take notice of the many farm buildings that have fallen to ruin, another reminder of the sign of the times. Barns that once stood tall and strong have now been reduced to rubble. But what I also notice is that even though the roofs have caved in and fallen inside the foundation, what remains is the foundation. The foundation of a building is critical to the structure. If the foundation isn’t strong the whole building is compromised. Even as we see these farm buildings falling into ruin, if we were to clean away the debris, the rotted rafters and roof boards, I’m willing to bet that one could rebuild on that solid foundation.
In his message addressing the Synod Assembly last week, Bishop Halom talked about his trip to Selma, Alabama, the sight of an anti-racism march organized by Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960’s. The march was to promote equal voting rights for black people. Black people were not just black people. They were God’s children too. That was the point of the Bishop’s message: we are not just. We, too, are loved and cherished by God. We are not just another brick in the wall. We are people of God who rally around each other and support each other, no one more important than another. Like the solid footings beneath a building’s foundation, to quote a familiar hymn, Jesus is “the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.”
Pink Floyd seems to be saying that when we follow the crowd we are just another brick in the wall. Bishop Halom reminded us in his message that we are not just another brick in the wall but an integral part of the foundation of the body of Christ. When we put our trust in the Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of our faith, we are on solid unshakeable ground. Psalm 46 reminds us with these words: 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of the city it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns. 6 The nations are in an uproar; the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice; the earth melts. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Jesus is the cornerstone of our salvation. Jesus isn’t just another brick in the wall and neither are you.
May the peace of God be with all of you as you live out your calling as part of the foundation of the body of Christ.
Michael Isaacson
