You’re not like those other piggy’s are you? No, your house isn’t made of the straw of Hinduism, or the sticks of Buddhism, but it is made of solid “Christian bricks”. “Satan, storms, and sin can’t touch me,” reason, “I’ve got bricks and a ceiling.” Your wall is made up of bricks like Christian music, “Christian” fellowship, church attendance, baptism, a worship experience, and a prayer you said once. But anchoring all your hopes to walls and ceilings means that when they are gone so are you. Satan does not puff, he uses wrecking balls. The storms or life sometimes contain violent tornados. Sin is no small burden to your walls but a crushing one they cannot sustain. If walls have been you anchor, or at least partially so, you may have found the book of Hebrews devastating so far. But if all your hope is in the foundation, if your anchor, your hope is the high priesthood of Jesus Christ, then you stand after the wrecking ball has passed and the tornado has blown. Also sin does not end you, because the burden has been born.
If you are God’s child you may have been shaken by the wonderful book so far, but you have been shaken so that you may realize your unshakable position in Christ.
If all you have are walls, be devastated. If as Hebrews has been preached you see that the ceiling is no surety of your salvation and seemingly has been sucked into oblivion, or if the walls are seen as empty vain works if not built upon the one true foundation and thus they seemingly crumble; yet you look down and there is a foundation left, take great hope. The ceiling and walls are gone so that you might take confidence in the only place where any can be found – Jesus Christ.
