TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “For Jesus is the one referred to in the scriptures, where it says, ‘ The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.'” Acts 4:11
TODAY’S MESSAGE: The definition of a cornerstone is, “a stone forming a part of a corner or angle of a wall.” A cornerstone is the basic beginning of the foundation of a building. Our faith must have a foundation. The building of our faith is no different than building a strong house or any other structure. We must have a cornerstone. We must begin with a solid foundation so that our faith will be able to stand the struggles of time. It must be able to stand up against the winds of lies and hardships. It must be so solid as to not fall when we are going through times of sadness or through persecution or disappointment. Our faith must not fall by the wayside when times are good or be forgotten in the busy times of this world. Jesus is that cornerstone. He is that first building block that gives us the strength we need to get us through every day, every month and every year. He is the one who we believe in, trust in and confess to. He is our conduit to God himself. Without Jesus we are unable to reach God in heaven. It is Jesus who gives us the strength we need when life is not going as we think it should. It is Jesus who we go to when we pray and ask for forgiveness in our lives. It is Jesus who gives us the assurances in life of salvation and healing. Without our rock, our foundation, our cornerstone, we are unable to live our lives as God wants us to live them. It is Jesus who is the first and the last. It is Jesus upon whom we build our faith which allows us to move forward in strength, confidence and love for others. Jesus is the stone that the builders rejected and has now become our cornerstone for our faith and existence upon this earth. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
