“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.”
1 Peter 2:6 KJV
This is central to the prophetic theme of Scripture: as voiced by the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone, the exact and precise reference to the authentic thought of God; the One Who exhibits the perfect idea of human life indwelt by God. This makes Him most precious and desirable; He will not disappoint anyone’s belief that He is indeed the Messiah, the Saviour of the world! He exhibits human life as the true temple of God. The cornerstone 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. When Solomon’s temple was built, not a sound of a hammer or chisel was heard, every stone was perfectly cut in the quarry (the Cross), to exactly mirror the pattern of the chief cornerstone! Our lives now give tangible definition to the spiritual structure, having been built into it by God upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles. Jesus Christ Himself is the Chief Cornerstone. Amen!
