Chief Corner Stone 1 Peter 2:6 (KJV) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
In any building, the corner stone is of fundamental importance. It is called corner because it forms part of a corner or angle in a wall, and is usually laid at the formal installation ceremony of erection of a building. No building is considered complete until it has received this headstone. It is under the figure of a building that the foundation of the Church is described. The foundation of the Church Christ is building has been laid strong and deep, in the eternal counsels of God. Christ, then, as “the Chief Corner Stone” is what the Church needs, and what her every member needs.
Jesus, you are the chosen and precious cornerstone and whoever trusts in you will never be put to shame. For in you the foundation of the Church is sure and secure and no forces on earth can destroy it. What a glorious foundation you have laid for your people. Without you, the Chief Corner Stone, the Church will not be complete.
