“Behold I will stand before you, upon the rock.” (Exodus 17:6)
In the Bible, a Rock often signifies a steadfast faith. It can also refer to our Lord, Who was the rejected stone that became the “keystone,” which completes and holds together Christ’s Church. A Rock can also symbolize a good foundation, as in the benefits of building a firm foundation upon solid rock as opposed to sand.
Our church is a rock – a rock of salvation, and we continue to build upon it also. Yet we have on our property a large rock that everyone seems to gravitate towards, to climb or pose on. Even I like to sit atop it sometimes and meditate. Thus, everything in creation has significance every pebble, stone, rock, or bolder has a purpose under heaven.
Fr. John
