The world’s tallest free standing structure is the Burj Khalifa ((burge kaleefa) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates which stands 2,722 feet. Its foundation of concrete and steel is 164 feet deep. Without that foundation, the massive structure would topple over. Foundations are vital in buildings, but also in people. Jesus warned that we should not build our lives on sand, but solid rock. And Paul wrote, “…no other foundation can anyone lay that that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Clearly we should not build our lives on the useless sandy unstable philosophies of this world, but on the solid rock-like truths which Jesus proclaimed -we are all sinners by nature and by choice and only He, by His death at Calvary, can take us successfully through this life and open the door to the next life. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
