Remember when Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was? Simon said that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Son of the Living God. And Jesus told Simon that God the Father had given Simon this revelation. Then Jesus called Simon “pebble” (Petros). Jesus said He would build His Church on a mighty boulder (petra). This mighty boulder is the Foundation of salvation, wisdom, righteousness, holiness, reason, and the Church. While some theologians teach that the mighty boulder is Simon, in truth, Simon is just a pebble built on our firm Foundation, and Christ is that Foundation. So this journey isn’t about Petros. This journey is about Christ, our firm Petra Foundation for everything including reason. God says a lot about foundations through the Bible:
“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise master builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. For no one is able to lay another foundation, besides the one being already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:10-11 Berean Study Bible)
“having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone” (Ephesians 3:20 Berean Study Bible)
“This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12 English Standard Version)
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall because its foundation was on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!” (Matthew 7:24-27 Berean Study Bible)
Can we find a sound foundation for thought without Christ? Though the world uses many methods of thinking, can even one of these ungodly methods claim sanity?
