Cornerstone
What does it mean that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone?
Jesus is the principal Cornerstone to all.
He is the strength and true alignment.
A cornerstone is the basis for all measurements, a guide line for perfection.
God's tools are love, mercy, forgiveness, peace, and grace. He provides these tools for all of us to grow in sanctification and righteousness.
The cornerstone is the guide for all workers.
Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone, the strength, the rock for the church, the people.
Jesus is the cornerstone and from there justice is the centering line,
and righteousness the level.
As Christians we are a living stone in Gods eyes.
If we don’t produce, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from us and we will be a crushed stone.
Isaiah 28;16-17
16
Therefore the Lord God said:
“Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
the one who believes will be unshakable.
17
And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
Matthew 21;42-44
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it. 44 And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
1 Samuel 2:2
“There is none holy like the Lord, there is none besides thee; there is no rock like our God.”
1 Peter 2:4
4 So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight.
