Jesus Is The Cornerstone!

Jesus Is The Cornerstone!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Act 4:11 (ESV) tells us,

“This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.”

The verse in Acts refers back to Psalm 118: 22-23 (ESV). It is followed by a verse of affirmation.

“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.”

Recognize Jesus for He is. Although He was rejected and died on the cross, He was resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God the Father.

Christ Is The Cornerstone!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know Christ is the cornerstone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In architecture, the cornerstone of a building is significant. All of the other stones that will make up the building are aligned to it. Placing a cornerstone often takes on a ceremonial meaning and is accompanied by some fanfare.

First Peter 2:4-6 (ESV) is not written about the cornerstone of a building. It is written about Christ.

“As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:

Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

Christ is the cornerstone! Believers are living stones. With Christ as the cornerstone, all things are possible.
