The Chief Cornerstone

Read Psalm 118

“The Stone which the builders rejected has become the Chief Cornerstone,” is the most quoted Old Testament text in New Testament Scripture.

Do you know that in the construction of a structure, the main cornerstone is very important? It is the first and most essential stone set. It directs, supports, and stabilizes the construction of a complete building project. And you know what? The Lord Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone on which we establish our trust in God’s plan of redemption. However, Jesus is the stone that was rejected. The elders of Israel rejected Jesus Christ as their prophet, priest, and King. The teachers of the Law also rejected Him as the Son of God. Until today, there are still people who reject Jesus Christ and do not acknowledge Him as their Lord and Savior.

It is through the Lord’s doing that we get to know Jesus and come to His saving faith. Jesus Christ is the precious stone to whom our faith is founded. There is nothing we can brag or claim. It is all the Lord’s doing, and it is indeed wonderful to see. Come! Let us rejoice and be glad!
