AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 28:16 Therefore the Lord GOD says this, "Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone, A precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic]. [Ps 118:22; Matt 21:42; Acts 4:11; Rom 9:33; Eph 2:20; 1 Pet 2:4-6] |
Bible Question: why was Jesus called the chief corner stone in Eph 2:20 |
Bible Answer: Basically, Gods people in the old testament weren't able to build on Gods law. There hearts were full of evil. Now in Isaiah 28:16 God calls Christ a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone and a sure foundation. In 1Cor.3:9, God not only calls us labourers, but Gods building. Jesus came to give us TRUTH and to build on a sound doctrine (foundation), but Jesus said that the stone that the builders rejected (Jesus) became the corner stone, Mat.21:42. After Christ was crusified and ascended, Eph 4:11,12 says "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelist, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare Gods's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be BUILT up, why? verse 13, until WE ALL reach unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God and become MATURE, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. In order to build on a foundation, in the O.T. a stone was placed at the extreme corner, and the foundation was built from there, it was called the corner stone. Finally, and I end with this; 1 Peter 2:7 says "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. I thank God for the Chief corner stone. Heavenly Father, I thank you for this person who hungers and thirst after your righteousness, let their cup over flow. I pray that we continue to be BUILT up IN Christ, the Chielf Corner Stone. In Jesus Name, AMEN! |
