Bible Question: why was Jesus called the chief corner stone in Eph 2:20 |
Bible Answer: Hello, There are two parts to the answer to this question. The first involves the importance of the Cornerstone in construction. In construction, the cornerstone is among the most important pieces in matters of foundation and stability. Without a good, strong, and dimentionally straight cornerstone, the whole building could be ruined, uneven, or even dangerous. In brick buildings especially, the whole entire above ground construction is built upon the Cornerstone. The cornerstone sets the measurements for the rest of the building. So, in that regards, Jesus Christ is the pattern by which the Church is patterned after. Jesus is the cornerstone by which the Church rests upon. It his saving grace that has straightened out and lined up the Church of God. Now, for the second part. In Isaiah 28:16, Isaiah gives one of his messianic prophecies concerning God's cornerstone. Paul, in Ephesians, is establishing Jesus as that Cornerstone which Isaiah speaks of. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
