Jesus: The Unshakable Cornerstone of Our Faith – The cornerstone holds a foundational significance, providing strength and stability to the entire structure. As Christians, we find our ultimate cornerstone in Jesus Christ, the unwavering foundation of our faith. #bgbg2
Jesus: The Unshakable Cornerstone of Our Faith
1. The Scriptural Foundation
The Bible consistently portrays Jesus as the cornerstone, drawing on Old Testament prophecies that foretold His coming. In Psalm 118:22, we read, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” Jesus fulfills this prophecy in the New Testament, solidifying His role as the central figure of our faith.
2. Cornerstone of Redemption
Jesus serves as the cornerstone of our redemption, bearing the weight of our sins on the cross. Through His sacrifice, we find forgiveness and reconciliation with God, paving the way for eternal life. Ephesians 2:20 reinforces this, describing believers as being “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.”
3. Unchanging and Reliable
Jesus remains our constant, unchanged and reliable cornerstone. Hebrews 13:8 assures us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” As we navigate life’s challenges, we can anchor ourselves in His unchanging character and promises.
4. The Center of Our Identity
Our identity as Christians is intricately tied to Jesus, the cornerstone of who we are. 1 Peter 2:9 declares, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” Our purpose and worth find meaning in Christ.
5. Building Our Lives Upon Him
Just as builders carefully place the cornerstone to ensure the stability of a structure, we are called to build our lives upon Jesus. Matthew 7:24-25 compares those who hear and do the words of Jesus to wise builders who construct their houses on a rock, withstanding the storms of life.
”“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.“
Matthew 7:24-25 NASB1995
Conclusion
In every aspect of our Christian journey, Jesus stands as our cornerstone – the sure foundation upon which we build our faith, hope, and purpose. As we delve deeper into the Scriptures and embrace His transformative power, we discover that our lives gain stability and purpose, anchored in the unshakable cornerstone of Christ.
