Jesus spoke only two times about the Church. The first and the most important reference concerning the Church was when Jesus Himself declared to Peter,
 
"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH"

This is clear enough to understand that Jesus would build His own church. The message about the church was short and complete. What part of "I will build my Church" we don't understand? How do we interpret a simple declaration?

"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH"

There were no direct instructions to anybody to build a church for Him because He wanted to build HIS church Himself. He can do exactly what He promised to do. No one is allowed to mess up with His building project. No help is needed this time. There are things He would like to do Himself and one of them is,

"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH"

It is surprising enough that many are trying to give meaning to what a church is; this is irrelevant and fruitless due to the fact that the church is His project and not ours. The issue is not about Peter, the rock or the gates of hell. The main point of Jesus was made clear to his disciples that He will without doubt build HIS own Church.  How dare we now build churches for Christ when He Himself said?

"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH'

Guess what? If Christ is preparing a place for us in heaven as promised, why do we need to help Him prepare that place in heaven for ourselves? Can we help Him at all in preparing a place as stated in John 14:2 promise? Likewise, can we build His Church for Him? He builds His Church according to His master plan, a church that Christ alone knows what she looks like, what is the sense of making a church of any kind for Christ? Make no mistake and listen to His voice when He said in five words,

"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH"

You can build a mosque, temple, chapel or a cathedral but not a Church. The Church is a pure by-product of the Lord Jesus Christ. If it is not perfect, it is not of the Lord. Furthermore, you form a club and call it a church. You gather an assembly and call it a church. You divide a group into factions and say the church is divided. You moved from group to group to find a perfect church on earth without success. Let us leave the task of church building, spiritual or material in the hand of the Lord and devote our time obeying the words of Christ for He says clearly,

"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH'

REFERENCE:
Matt 16:18
18 "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
