Each generation finds it reaching outward and upward. The ropes are lengthened and the stakes are strengthened. It is not static, but active. Strangers and foreigners become fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Jesus is the chief cornerstone.
Growth always indicates change and adjustment.
The fellowship is the joint participation in the Christ, which makes us a part of the building. We are held together, not because of equality of ability, genius, attainment, accomplishment, or opinion, but by the cement of divine love.
