The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. – Psalm 118:22
Psalm 118 is often reckoned as the very middle of the Bible. This Psalm is filled with adoration of God and acknowledgement of His everlasting mercies. He protects and saves us. He teaches and guides us. We owe Him all our faith and praise. God made Jesus Christ the Cornerstone of the Church. His work and commandments are the sole basis of the Church. Without Him, we are not even a Church.
Notice how t118:22he psalmist declared this prophecy in the midst of other verses acknowledging the power of God. It is a reminder to us that we may one day show our love for God and the next day reject Him. Praise the Lord that we cannot move that Cornerstone.
The words of the psalmist again ring true in the prophecy given to Daniel when he wrote about the powers that would crumble before the kingdom of God.
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure” (Daniel 2:44-45).
Hallelujah to the King! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! And nothing shall move this Chief Cornerstone!!
