Show Notes

Since ancient times, builders have used cornerstones in their construction projects. A cornerstone was the principal stone, usually placed at the corner of an edifice, to guide the workers in their course. The cornerstone was usually one of the largest, the most solid, and the most carefully constructed of any in the edifice. The Bible describes Jesus as the cornerstone that His church would be built upon. He is foundational. Once the cornerstone was set, it became the basis for determining every measurement in the remaining construction; everything was aligned to it. As the cornerstone of the building of the spiritual church, Jesus is our standard of measure and alignment.

 

Not everyone received or accepted Jesus as that cornerstone. Many, including those who knew him the best and those who supposedly knew God the best chose to reject Him.

 

Scriptures referenced include Matthew 5:14; Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Matthew 12:46, Matthew 13:35, Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31; Matthew 13:56; John 2:1-11; Mark 3:20-35; Psalm 118:22; and Mark 12:10.
