The Living Stone
(Isaiah 28:14-22; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
(Isaiah 28:14-22; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
4As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men, but chosen and precious in God’s sight, 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone,
a chosen and precious cornerstone;
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame.”a
What a beautiful metaphor, a living stone!
Jesus is the cornerstone and all the believers are the living stones built into a spiritual house.
Have you ever built a stone wall?
Years ago I closed in our carport. First, I dug out the footing, laid rebar, poured concrete and then started laying block. I had to set the main outside corner first. Off the chief cornerstone everything else is lined up and laid. Once that was established, laying the rest of the block was easy.
Is Jesus your chief Cornerstone?
Go deeper;
Blessings, David
