CHRISTโTHE CHIEF CORNERSTONE
SATURDAY, MAY 23RD, 2026
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lordโs doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Matthew 21:42).
We learnt, in our previous study, one of the clearest truths in Scripture: The Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Church. This is not an idea or a mere concept. In Matthew 21:42, He identified Himself as the stone spoken of in prophecy, the One rejected by the builders yet chosen by God to become the head of the corner.
The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, also stated this plainly in 1 Corinthians 3:11, โFor other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.โ That settles it. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only true foundation. No other foundation can be laid.
This aligns perfectly with the prophecy of Isaiah: โTherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundationโฆโ (Isaiah 28:16). God was speaking here about a PersonโChrist Jesus, who also quoted the same prophetic words in Psalm 118:22, when He said, โโฆDid ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?โ (Matthew 21:42).
The rejection of Christ didnโt cancel Godโs plan. It fulfilled it. The One they refused became the cornerstone of Godโs eternal structure. In Acts chapter 4, the apostles proclaimed this truth boldly and made it unmistakable: โThis is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the cornerโ (Acts 4:11).
This is why the โrockโ Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16 is not a revelation, and itโs not Peter. The Scriptures consistently identify Christ as the Rock, the Stone, the Foundation, and the Chief cornerstone. Paul further confirms this in Ephesians 2:20 when he said by the Spirit that we โ...are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.โ
The stability of the Church is Christ, and those who believe in Him are founded on the Rock, immovable and victorious forever! This is the glory of the Gospel. Hallelujah!

Iโm founded on Christ, the Sure Foundation, and Chief Cornerstone of the Church. My faith is anchored on Him alone, and my life is built on His unshakable truths. I walk in stability, confidence, and victory because I am founded on the Rock, Christ Jesus. Amen!
