Jesus will preserve the church

Archeologists recently discovered a church building that may have been built over the home site of one of the disciples who lived in Bethsaida. Though this particular congregation has long been forgotten the church of Jesus remains. Though this building has been reduced to ruins and buried in the earth, the work of the church continues.

This is a helpful reminder to us. If there comes a day when our church building no longer stands or the records of our times and lives are lost, the work of the church will continue. Until Jesus returns, He will be gathering His followers Himself. Until Jesus returns, He will be sustaining the church in His power. Until Jesus returns, the church will be proclaiming the hope of the gospel.
