In the past several months, the world has seen the fragility of the foundation stones in which the world constructs. These foundation stones to the world: financial prosperity, healthcare, systems of government, and the rights given to citizens, are all noble creations. They are founded on biblical principles, and the Lord sees value in them. But, when man lays his own foundation stones, they are movable, fragile and not longstanding. Quickly these stones can break down due to their inherent fragility.
There is a better stone; a living stone, a cornerstone which is Jesus. This stone is laid on His righteousness, His justice, and His message. It is the stone which the builders rejected. Let us learn this week how we sometimes are complicit in rejecting the Living Stone which is Jesus for the use of stones which man’s wisdom designs. Let us learn from our errors and reposition ourselves as a church, as a society, and as a people to live a life which is not fragile, but firm on a Living Stone which cannot be shaken.
“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.””
1 Peter 2:4-6
