\u201cMy Hope is Built on Nothing Less: Hymns\/Songs that Secure Us” – Hymn 576\/Cornerstone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a01. The story behind the hymn<\/h4>\n

Edward Mote was another hymn writer who grew up without religious training. His parents were pub owners. He was apprenticed at a young age by his parents to a cabinetmaker, but found faith at a Chapel in London at age 15. Living near London, he established a successful cabinet-making enterprise and became a Baptist minister in 1852, at 55 years of age. But it was some 20 years earlier that he authored the hymn, \u201cMy Hope is Built on Nothing Less.\u201d He was interested in hymns and wrote more than 100 hymns in his career. Mote, himself, tells the story of the origin of this hymn as it appeared in a London periodical,\u00a0The Gospel Magazine<\/em>:\u201cOne morning it came into my mind as I went to labour, to write a hymn on the \u2018Gracious Experience of a Christian.\u2019 As I went up to Holborn I had the chorus\u2026 [Later] In the day I had four verses complete, and wrote them off…. On the Sabbath following… by the fireside [I] composed the last two verses.\u201dBaptist hymnologist William Reynolds summarizes the rest of the story: \u201cThe next Sunday [Mote] visited the home of some fellow church members where the wife was very ill. The husband informed Mote that it was their custom on the Lord\u2019s Day to sing a hymn, read the Bible, and pray together. Mote produced the new hymn from his pocket, and they sang [\u201cThe Solid Rock\u201d] together for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hymn has found its way into our Lutheran hymnbooks for at least the last 80 years, with our most recent hymnal featuring it with two different melodies. Ten years ago, Hillsong Music released a worship song \u2013 \u201cCornerstone\u201d \u2013 that includes the verses of \u201cMy Hope is Built\u201d but uses a different refrain. (That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to sing today.) The popularity of the hymn\u2019s imagery is further seen in a more recent release of \u201cMy Feet Are on the Rock\u201d by a group called \u201cI Am They.\u201d It uses the hymnal version of the refrain. So, let\u2019s explore the lyrics of Mote\u2019s hymn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a02. Jesus’ name, blood and righteousness (v.1)<\/h4>\n

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness;<\/p>\n

No merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus\u2019 name.<\/p>\n

Refrain: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edward Mote starts his hymn with a look toward the future, because that\u2019s what hope is\u2026 a look toward the future. In the middle of Romans 8, we find perhaps the most thorough description of hope in the entire Bible. St. Paul writes that \u201cwe groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption\u2026 the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul talks about hope as something that we do not yet have, and as something for which we wait eagerly and patiently. Now some of you may know that today is Super Bowl Sunday \u2013 the football championship in the U.S. I don\u2019t care about it that much, but I do know that the Cincinnati Bengals are in their first Super Bowl in more than 30 years, and they have never won the championship in their 50-year history. So, if you\u2019re a Bengals fan, you are hoping for a victory this afternoon. You don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to happen, because the game hasn\u2019t been played yet, but you\u2019re hoping.<\/p>\n

Paul is talking about the future event of the redemption of our bodies. Right now, here on earth, we live in these bodies that are subject to brokenness \u2013 injury, disease, decay, and sin. But our future hope is for redeemed bodies, glorified bodies, spiritual bodies, perfect bodies. That will happen at the resurrection, and it\u2019s in heaven that we will have those redeemed bodies.<\/p>\n

Edward Mote is looking to that future hope \u2013 going from earth to heaven. (**volunteer \u2013 visual image) And he writes that his hope is based \u201con nothing less.\u201d Now there are people in this world whose hopes are built on much lesser and much less certain things. I referred to this hymn as a hymn that secures us. Some people build their hopes and their lives on the security of money and possessions, with that motto of \u201cHe who dies with the most toys wins.\u201d Others rely on their own selves and skills and egos, with that deceptive slogan of \u201cYou can fulfill your dreams, you can do whatever you set your mind to, you can be whatever you want to be.\u201d Still others try with all their might and intentions to please God with their lives and good deeds. Some people build their hopes for life after death on shaky teachings and religions that have no basis in truth.<\/p>\n

In contrast, while those philosophies are wallowing around ankle level in terms of their truthfulness and security, Mote says that his hope, his security is built on nothing less than Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness. He is not satisfied with any of those lesser and uncertain teachings. He wants nothing but the best, the strongest, the most truthful, the most secure. So, he relies on NOTHING LESS than Jesus, and Jesus\u2019 blood shed on the cross of Calvary, and the righteousness that comes to us freely from that sacrifice.<\/p>\n

In Romans 3, Paul spends a few verses expanding on that righteousness theme. He says that we can\u2019t attain a right and righteous relationship with God by observing the law, by trying to be perfect. But God, Himself, has provided another source of righteousness \u2013 one that comes from Him, through faith in Jesus, through faith in His blood. Paul summed up the result of Jesus\u2019 crucifixion by saying that \u201cGod made [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

This morning, two precious infants were presented for Baptism, clothed in robes of white. Those robes represent the holiness, the purity, the righteousness that Jesus clothes us with by virtue of our faith in His death and resurrection. That\u2019s what Mote says, his hope is nothing less than that. The next phrase re-states it \u2013 \u201cNo merit of my own I claim But wholly lean on Jesus\u2019 name.\u201d That is to say, no matter how good and holy Mote\u2019s life was, no matter how many good deeds I have done, no matter how generous your offerings have been or how much service you have given to the church\u2026 NONE of that counts toward our righteousness. Once we claim our own merit, we negate and reduce Jesus\u2019 own sacrifice and righteousness for us. So, Mote acknowledges that He will lean wholly, entirely, fully on Jesus\u2019 name, Jesus\u2019 blood and Jesus\u2019 righteousness. It\u2019s exactly what St. Peter said in Acts 4 when he was called to give an account for the healing of a lame man before the religious authorities. He boldly proclaimed, \u201cSalvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven\u2026 by which we must be saved.\u201d NOTHING LESS than Jesus!! ONLY Jesus!!<\/p>\n

So now we get to the refrain\u2026 On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty obvious connection with a story that Jesus told about two builders. One man built his house on a rock, the other man on sand. When the wind and rains came to blow and beat against those houses, the house on the rock stood firm, while the house built on the sand fell with a great crash. Jesus was really saying that if you build your life on those insecure slogans and shaky teachings, you need to know that that is really a sinking sand foundation, and one day it will all come crashing down around you! Mote concludes by saying that He is going to stand solidly and securely on Christ. When St. Peter confessed Jesus to be the Christ, Jesus\u2019 reply indicated that Peter\u2019s confession was a solid, rock-like statement on which a person could build their life, their faith, and their eternity. Oh, and the refrain from the version we are going to sing today includes a reference to Christ as cornerstone, which is another image of strength in the building of a house. St. Paul, writing to the Christians in Ephesus, uses that imagery to describe us in the church \u2013 we are God\u2019s people built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets (that would be the New Testament Scriptures and the Old Testament Scriptures), with Christ Jesus, Himself, as the chief cornerstone. On Christ the solid rock, on Christ the cornerstone \u2013 same picture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a03. My anchor: Christ’s unchanging grace (v.2)<\/h4>\n

When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace;<\/p>\n

In ev\u2019ry high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil.<\/p>\n

Refrain: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second verse of Mote\u2019s hymn takes us back to that nautical theme that we hard from Horatio Spafford last Sunday. But before that, Mote refers to a different image \u2013 \u201cWhen darkness veils His lovely face.\u201d That darkness could be literal darkness, but more likely figurative darkness. When the earth turns and darkness envelopes our area, the lovely, warming, bright face of the sun is veiled and hidden. In that darkness we have a hard time finding our way. Many crimes and misdeeds are often done under the cover of darkness, so as not to be noticed, and recognized and identified. That leads us to figurative darkness. That darkness of crime and suffering and injustice and evil seems to veil God\u2019s face for many people, and it leads them to believe that God is either a myth or He\u2019s uncaring or He\u2019s dead. Maybe you have some of those doubts about God when things are not going well for you in life, when darkness seems to obstruct God\u2019s light from getting through.<\/p>\n

Mote says that even then, maybe especially then, he rests on the unchanging character of God, the unchanging grace of God. James chapter 1 tells us that God does not change like shifting shadows. We still have pretty long shadows these days, because the sun is still quite low in the sky, but those shadows are changing. And they change during the day, too, with long shadows in the morning and evening, and shorter shadows at mid-day. Whether it\u2019s the darkness of night, or the brightness of noon-day, whether it\u2019s the darkness of trials and temptations, or the brightness of God\u2019s abundant blessing, God does not change. His grace is constant.<\/p>\n

Pay attention, now, to that nautical illustration. Mote talks about a high and stormy gale, and he must have the ocean in mind \u2013 like Horatio Spafford\u2019s rolling sea billows \u2013 for he refers to the security and certainty of an anchor that holds his life in place. \u201cMy anchor holds within the veil.\u201d Whether he meant the veil of fog or zero visibility because of that stormy gale, his life\u2019s anchor \u2013 Jesus, and God\u2019s grace in Jesus \u2013 is going to keep him firm. That\u2019s the image that the writer to the Hebrews uses: \u201chope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does God\u2019s face, does God\u2019s grace, seem to be veiled and dark for you right now? Is there a high and stormy gale whipping up on the horizon, threatening to overwhelm your little boat of life with waves too big and boisterous to endure? Know that Jesus is your anchor, and that He holds you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a04. My hope… His oath, covenant and blood (v.3)<\/h4>\n

His oath, his covenant, his blood\u00a0 Sustain me in the raging flood;<\/p>\n

When all supports are washed away,\u00a0 He then is all my hope and stay.<\/p>\n

Refrain: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The third verse returns us either to the high and stormy gale of verse 2 or to the rains and winds and raging flood of Jesus\u2019 story of the two house builders. When that raging flood is relentless, when earthly supports and foundations are no match for the waters \u2013 kind of like the Abbotsford dikes during the fall atmospheric rivers \u2013 there is still something that supports us and gives us hope. Edward Mote identified three things that support us: God\u2019s oath, His covenant, His blood.<\/p>\n

His oath\u2026 I\u2019m not exactly sure what Mote was referring to, but perhaps it was that promise to Old Testament Moses and the people of Israel that He would never leave them or forsake them, a promise that was restated for us New Testament people in the book of Hebrews. And that oath was also spoken by Jesus when He gave the Great Commission: \u201cGo, and make disciples\u2026 baptizing and teaching\u2026 AND I will be with you always, to the end of the age.\u201d<\/p>\n

His covenant\u2026 again, there are several covenants mentioned in the Old Testament \u2013 the covenant with Noah not to send another flood; the covenant with Abraham that all the people of the world would be blessed by one of his descendants; the covenant with David that the Saviour would come from his family and His kingdom would endure forever. But perhaps the covenant we ought to think about is the new covenant that the prophet Jeremiah spoke of \u2013 the covenant to be our God, and to forgive our wickedness and remember our sins no more. That supports and encourages us for sure!!<\/p>\n

His blood\u2026 that one we don\u2019t have to wonder about \u2013 it\u2019s definitely the blood of Jesus, spilled on the cross, precisely for the forgiveness of our sins, and to ensure us that He is our foundation, our solid rock, our hope and stay. He is why, when every earthly prop gives way \u2013 our health, our friends, our financial security \u2013 even then Jesus is our hope, our eternal hope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a05. At trumpet sound… Redeemed!! (v.4)<\/h4>\n

When he shall come with trumpet sound,\u00a0 Oh, may I then in him be found,<\/p>\n

Clothed in his righteousness alone,\u00a0 Redeemed to stand before the throne!<\/p>\n

Refrain: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, and then speaking about eternal hope, Edward Mote concluded his hymn in the same way as John Newton and Horatio Spafford \u2013 with a look toward the last day. \u201cWhen He shall come with trumpet sound.\u201d That\u2019s the same imagery \u2013 from 1 Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians and Revelation \u2013 that Spafford used to refer to the last day. Jesus will return with the trumpet call of God. Mote\u2019s final verse prayer is that when that day comes he will be found in Christ, with faith in Christ, and he will be clothed in that righteousness of Jesus, and he will be able to stand redeemed, boldly, confidently before the very throne of God.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s our prayer, too, isn\u2019t it \u2013 that we would stand confidently before God\u2019s throne when the last day comes because we are clothed with Christ\u2019s righteousness, and that is our \u2013 not ankle-high hope, but right-up-to-the-heart hope, our stormy-gale-anchor hope, our darkness-busting-grace hope, our oath-covenant-and-blood hope, our solid-rock hope\u2026 NOTHING LESS than Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness \u2013 FOR YOU!!! Let\u2019s stand and sing this hymn of security and strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
