Jesus the Cornerstone

Builders know that everything depends on the cornerstone. If it is placed correctly,

the structure stands strong. If it is rejected or misaligned, the entire building

is at risk. Jesus spoke to the religious leaders using this exact image:

“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” They understood what He meant —

He was speaking about Himself. For generations, Israel waited for God’s chosen foundation.

But when Jesus came, many rejected Him — not because He was weak,

but because He did not fit their expectations. Isaiah had foretold it: “See,

I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation.”
