You are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone. In him all the parts of the building fit together and grow into a holy temple in the Lord. Through him you, also, are being built in the Spirit together with others into a place where God lives (Ephesians 2). Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good! You are coming to Christ, the living stone who was rejected by humans but was chosen as precious by God. You come to him as living stones, a spiritual house that is being built into a holy priesthood. So offer spiritual sacrifices that God accepts through Jesus Christ. That is why Scripture says, "I am laying a chosen and precious cornerstone in Zion, and the person who believes in him will never be ashamed." (1 Peter 2). One passage of Scripture always seems to leave out some detail to be filled in by another passage. When Matthew wrote, he did not mention the gesticulation. But Paul and Peter seem to be revealing that when Jesus said, “This Rock”, he was pointing to himself. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. See 1 Corinthians 3:11. |
