“And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.”
1 Kings 6:7 KJV
The temple that Solomon constructed was out of rocks that had been finished and polished at the quarry. Not a single hammer, hatchet, or other iron tool was heard inside the temple during construction. The cornerstone or foundation stone is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation. All other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure. Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone and we are like Him. We are invited to be His “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. No chiseling is required, only nurturing because Jesus shed His own Blood so that we may be perfectly mirrored to the pattern of our Chief Cornerstone. Let’s surrender to the Holy Spirit to be in the pattern of Jesus Christ Himself, our Rock from Whom we are hewn! Amen!
