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.
Today we explore 10 passages of Scripture that offer insight into the church, reflecting Jesus as the chief cornerstone: Acts 2:47; Ephesians 2:19-22; Colossians 1:18; Matthew 18:20; Romans 12:5; Psalm 122:1; Ephesians 1:22; Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 3:17; and Romans 16:17. Other scriptures referenced include 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:16; Ephesians 5:23; 1 Timothy 3:15; Ephesians 5; and Acts 19:12, 19, 24.
