• He is the stone that the builders rejected (Matt. 21:42; Ps. 118:22).

• He is a Stumbling stone (1 Cor. 1:23).

• He is the Capstone (Acts 4:11).

• He is the Cornerstone (Eph. 2:20; 1 Peter 2:6).

• He is the Foundation stone (Isa. 28:16; 1 Cor. 3:11).

• He is the Living stone (1 Peter 2:4).

• He is the Rock (Deut. 32:4; 2 Sam. 22:2; Ps.19:14; 61:2; 78:35).

• He is the Rock of offense (Rom. 9:33).

• He is the Rock that moved in the wilderness (1 Cor. 10:4).

• He is the Rock of revelation upon which the church is built (Matt.16:13–18).

Over and over again, Jesus Christ is presented to us as the foundation and the cornerstone of God’s house. In the first century, the cornerstone was the first stone that was laid in the foundation. It was also the main stone of the building. It aligned and united all the other stones together.

Each of the stones in the building was measured by the cornerstone. The building had to be in complete conformity with the cornerstone, else it could not be approved. Jesus Christ is the main stone in the foundation of God’s house; all things are measured by Him.

Seeing Christ as God’s house as well as the foundation, the cornerstone, and the capstone is only part of the mystery. Here is the more electrifying part. When the Lord Jesus walked this earth, He had scores of living stones dwelling within His being. And those living stones would one day constitute the beautiful dwelling place of God Himself.
