So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,

but fellow citizens with the saints, 

and members of God's household,

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,

with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:19-20 CSB

Paul brings in the analogy of a building here. The materials of a building are all good things, but they are not a building on their own, stacked on the building site.

They're only a building when they're put together. 

This is not about me being built up with Jesus as the cornerstone, but about us.

We, together, are this building. 

We, together have Jesus as the cornerstone of the building. 

Do you ever feel that the weight of being a Christian weighs you down?

Maybe that's when we're doing it wrong, & it seems to be about performance, and rules, and appearances. 

Yet this passage is nothing like that. It's about inclusion and growing together, into some kind of living whare, starting where we are.
