As the church to which he preaches sets out on the building of a place of worship, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, so Spurgeon reminds them that the true church is not made of bricks and mortar, but of living stones, in union with Christ as the Cornerstone. Diverting their attention from the material needs of the hour, he properly points them to the church as the building of God, his particular dwelling place, and his glorious temple. It is a sweet reminder of the spiritual constitution of the true church of Christ, and perhaps a needful reminder, too, that our first concern is not the material beauty of the buildings in which we meet, but the spiritual beauty of the people who meet there, to the glory of the God whom we serve.
