Cornerstone

In August of 1990 I went with Ron Kuhns for the first time to Romania.  We distributed about 500 Romanian New Testaments and handed out hundreds of Gospel tracts.  For five days, we worked in a village helping to construct a new church building.  We visited the Holy Trinity Baptist Church in downtown Braila, Romania where they had begun a new building.  They were making a huge dome-style building to take advantage of the acoustics of a dome structure.  In the middle of the construction site was a concrete post with an iron rebar imbedded in the top.  Every measurement in the whole building radiated from that precise point.  When completed, the pastor could speak to 2,000 people easily without amplification because of the unique acoustics of the building.  And like that rebar in Braila, Roman architects used a “cornerstone” to measure from.  Each measurement in the entire building was made from that single stone.  The length, width, and height of the building was measured from the cornerstone.  Hey, Jesus Christ is our cornerstone.  Jesus said in Mark 12:10, “And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.”  And like a cornerstone in a building, everything in Christianity focuses on Jesus Christ.  He is our focus; He is our Cornerstone.  Hey, is He yours?  Does your life revolve around Jesus?
