Making Jesus the cornerstone of your life is essential for lasting strength and stability.
TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE
“Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone” (Mark 12:10, NIV).
SOMETHING TO PONDER
Have you ever built something with your hands? Maybe it was the house you live in, or a piece of furniture you purchased from Ikea? Or what about that desk chair Amazon promised could be assembled in three easy steps?
For me, the first time I built something by hand, from scratch, was in my sophomore year of Ag class. As part of our assignment, we were to measure and build our very own toolbox. We were responsible for cutting the wood, sanding the pieces, and using numerous large power tools. I was greatly overwhelmed.
Embarrassingly enough, my first attempt failed miserably. I’d slightly miscalculated the base, therefore, the entire toolbox couldn’t stand up straight. It wasn’t until a guy in my class offered to help me fix it that I succeeded with the assignment. We remeasured the base and reassembled every part until it fit perfectly. I got an “A,” but I never would’ve if I hadn’t realized the need for accurate bases or cornerstones.
In Scripture, Mark 12 tells us that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone on which we build our lives. Sadly, many had rejected Jesus then, and continue to dismiss Him now. We learn from Matthew 7:24-27 that houses built without a strong foundational cornerstone are like homes built on sand. The rain, floods, and winds come, but the home doesn’t make it. It fell with a great crash because it wasn’t strong enough to stand. The same can be true of our lives.
