The Cornerstone of Redemption

Written By Ricardo McGee

Isaiah 28:16

In Isaiah 28:16, the Lord declares the creation of a “tested stone” and “precious cornerstone” in Zion—a fundamental element that guarantees the alignment and integrity of the edifice constructed upon it. This symbol represents both divine authority and covenantal loyalty. The cornerstone is not only decorative; it supports weight, establishes orientation, and unifies other components. This indicates that God is establishing the foundation of His redeeming endeavor.

Matthew and Acts emphasize Jesus as the crucial Stone—“the stone the builders rejected,” now elevated as the fundamental foundation for God’s presence and purpose among humanity. The repudiation and subsequent elevation of Christ reflect the path of the Servant-Messiah, ending in glorification via resurrection, ascension, and indwelling presence.

For the Christian, Christ as the Cornerstone signifies that our faith is rooted in divine promise, subjected to trials, refined, and ultimately resilient. We are urged to harmonize our views, activities, and identities with Him, so discovering security and perspective regardless of the fluctuating circumstances surrounding us. St. Augustine once reflected, “Make me a stone to construct the dwelling of Your Church.” O Solid Rock, O Foundation, eternally steadfast.

* Divine Foundation: Jesus serves as God's supernatural foundation—selected, validated, and invaluable (Isaiah 28:16).

* Satisfaction in Rejection and Elevation: The individual dismissed by humanity is designated as God's chosen cornerstone (Matthew 21:42; Acts 4:11).

* Security in Christ: Adherents grounded in this Foundation will not waver or falter.

* Alignment: Our life's trajectory, purpose, and identity must correspond with Christ as the ultimate foundation.

Contemplate Christ, the Cornerstone established by God, and allow your heart to find solace in His unwavering nature. In a realm of fluctuating circumstances and unpredictable loyalties, Jesus serves as your steadfast, safe, and life-sustaining foundation. Ground yourself in Him—have faith, conform, and persevere.
