Good Morning!
Our name for Jesus for today: The Chief Cornerstone
"Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." 1 Peter 2:6 NKJV
I do not personally know all that much about building large buildings, but I have read that the cornerstone is the most important part of the foundation. That if the cornerstone is not strong and laid just right, the strength of the entire building will be compromised. There simply must be that strong cornerstone that all the rest of the building depends on. Paul also writes of Jesus being the chief cornerstone.
"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." Ephesians 2:19-21 NIV
Just think. In Him, we are being built to become a dwelling place of God. Amazing.
Beautiful, wonderful Jesus.
