Foundations

"Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." -Revelation 21:14

​Why are Christ's apostles memorialized as such? They were men of suffering, men condemned, the offscouring of all creation, a spectacle to men and angels in their dogged tenacity.* They stood on the foundation of Christ's glorious resurrection. It was that Event that transformed cowards into steadfast preachers. They boldly declared that truth and the good news of mankind's redemption through Christ's blood. Their accounts of Christ's life, the gospels, became the foundation of the Church - Christ's bride. Their doctrine has withstood the test of time and will stand until the Lord returns. Their foundation is everlasting.

*1 Corinthians 4:9-13
