He is the cornerstone, the most important element of our lives.ĭoes the Church Today Align with Jesus’ Teaching? He is the stone that enables the Church to go on and do ministry despite circumstances that we are facing. He is the foundation that makes our faith even stronger and will make the Church stronger. He is the light that guides us to a straight path whenever we are in darkness. Jesus Christ as a cornerstone means that He is the foundation, the measuring guide, and the promise of God to His creation. And the reason for such truth is again, the promise of God - to give us a foundation of our lives through His Son, Jesus. People who care for us in this world will be the vessel for us to see Christ as our cornerstone and ultimately, we cannot escape from the fact that Christ is the foundation of our lives. He will always show mercy because He loves us. What the passage means is that even if we do not constantly acknowledge Him as our cornerstone, Jesus will ultimately light our lives and reveal that He is. This is written in Psalm 118:22, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone ” However, there are times that we do not follow Christ, yet He is still the cornerstone of our lives. Similarly, if we do not follow Christ, our path will end up in destruction and we will definitely go astray. If a cornerstone is not followed, the path of construction will end up in demise. Just like a literal cornerstone, Christ should be followed in order for us Christians, to live a straight path. In these two New Testament verses, we are assured that God gave His Son, Jesus, as a promise that we are guided, and we have a strong foundation as long as we follow Him. He understands us, the chosen people because He lives among us. It is also emphasized, in this verse, that Jesus is the living stone, which means that apart from being a cornerstone, He is a living foundation. “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” This means that as long as we follow Jesus, the layout of our lives will be straightened just as how a cornerstone would be significant in straightening the path of a construction masonry. He also emphasized that Jesus would bring justice to the righteous. God, here, is referring to Jesus, His only begotten Son, and His promise to give His Son as the foundation of their lives. In context, God was speaking to the people of Judah and He was promising them a foundation for their lives as long as they trusted Him. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line” So this is what the sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation the one who trusts will never be dismayed. In Isaiah 28:16-7, we can read that a Messiah was referred to as a cornerstone, Let us discuss the different areas in the Bible where Jesus was referred to as a cornerstone. What is a Cornerstone?Ī cornerstone is often used to describe Jesus in the Bible and the reason for that is because Jesus is the foundation and the most important part of building His Church. It makes all construction areas align and measure correctly. It serves as a foundation for other masonry layouts and that is why this building block is the most important part of ancient construction methods. A cornerstone is a useful part of a building, especially in ancient times, because it serves as a principal stone placed at a corner of an edifice to guide the workers in their course to complete the masonry.
