“therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.”
Isaiah 28:16 KJV
Isaiah prophesied, “Here’s what the Lord God says: “Behold, I set in place in Zion a Foundation Stone, fully tested and proven to be faithful and secure. And written upon this precious cornerstone is this: ‘Those who trust in Him will not act in haste.’” The Foundation Stone is Christ, set in place in the councils of eternity. God’s Foundation Stone is His Son, just as it is written: “Be careful! I Am setting in Zion a Stone that will cause people to stumble, a Rock of offense that will make them fall, but believers in Him will not experience shame.”” Now the Son/Stone has become many, as Peter pointed out, “Come and be His “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. For now you serve as holy priests, offering up spiritual sacrifices that He readily accepts through Jesus Christ.” From these sons/stones, the Father is building us into His holy temple. Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone on which we rest our faith, because we are those who dwell in Zion’s realm. Believers, throughout all time, have proven that He is faithful so we will never run away in fear. Our faith is firmly set upon Christ, is patient and never rushes, for faith leaves the timings of all things in God’s hands. As Peter said, “Whoever believes in Him will certainly not be disappointed.” Let’s keep a firm faith on our Chief Cornerstone, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
