The Head Of The Corner Series

2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

III. A Declaration Made:

11 “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.”

Jesus of Nazareth, by whose name the lame man was made whole, is that stone spoken of in Psalm 118:22 by whom is meant the true Messiah

Psalm 118:22 “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.”

Head of the corner - or the chief corner stone, that adorns, strengthens, knits, and keeps together, the whole building; in which Jews and Gentiles, saints in all ages and places, are united together;

Matthew 21:42 “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?”

What is a corner stone?

“A cornerstone (or foundation stone or setting stone) is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation. All other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.”

Jesus is our Head of the corner that was and is rejected by many as insignificant or un-important.

Yet without Christ there is NO salvation

Without Christ there is No New Testament Church

Without Christ there is NO hope of a heavenly home

Without Christ there is NO hope.

Conclusion:

When someone asks you; “What gives you the right or authority to speak to others”

The Answer is always: “The Word Of God and the example of our Saviour, Jesus.”

Do you know Jesus but better yet does Jesus know you?
