June 21

Running with Jesus  

Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

       In Isaiah the prophet told of the Messiah to come and would be "The Corner Stone". This only inflamed the religious council because they knew exactly what He was saying! He was The Cornerstone and they were rejecting Him.

       Every building needs a cornerstone that provides a sure solid foundation. The cornerstones provide stability and security for the building.

       Christ is the cornerstone for the church. He is the cornerstone that we need to build our lives upon. Many wonder why their lives are not secure and stable, many have rejected "The Cornerstone", Jesus Christ. If we try to build our lives on anything in the world we have a false security! Why? Everything in the world is temporary, people die, places change and things won’t last. Job's are being closed daily and people have worked in that place for years. Nothing is secure only one thing never changes and can take us through anything that life brings us and that is our "Cornerstone", Jesus Christ. Don't reject Him because in the end it will crush you! Why anyone wants to reject a loving God amazes me! I would rather take my chances on Christ because I have nothing to lose! If you reject Him you stand to lose everything!

Let's Thank God for our "Cornerstone" this morning!

Father, we praise You for our sure foundation. Please open the eyes of the blinded!

Tomorrow: On a soapbox, don't miss it!
