or something essential, indispensable, or basic
In the Bible it says that Jesus
Isaiah 28:16 - "So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: See I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic."
"Jesus is
‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
- Acts 4: 11-12
1 peter 2: 4-7 "As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you 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. For in Scripture it says:
'See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.'
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
'The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
How has He been The Cornerstone
Looking back to the definition, Jesus is "the chief foundation on which (My faith and salvation) are constructed"
My dad is into the remodeling/construction industry, and although he doesn't work with bricks all the time, he knows what a cornerstone is and who THE great Cornerstone is.
"Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak Made strong;
in the saviors love"
We should allow Jesus to BECOME THE CORNERSTONE Of OUR LIVES
