names of God: Chief Cornerstone

names of God: Chief Cornerstone by ric gustafson


Ephesians 2: 19-20- ' Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone'


This term refers to God the Son. When bricklayers raise a building beyond the foundation, they start with the corners. When the corners of a building are secured, the walls are built to support each other. The cornerstone is normally the first stone laid in a new building. In this passage, Paul is bringing together Jews and Gentiles together to help form what will become the modern church. Paul knew that Jesus Christ is that cornerstone that the church will be built on.
