Jesus is the chief cornerstone as prophesied in Isaiah 28:16 and affirmed by His role in establishing the Church.
The concept of Jesus as the chief cornerstone is rooted in biblical prophecy, particularly in Isaiah 28:16, where it states that God would lay a foundation in Zion. This foundation, in the New Testament, is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who not only establishes the Church but secures salvation for all who believe in Him. As the cornerstone, He ensures that the entire structure—the Church—rests upon Him, providing stability and security. This divine appointment underscores His supremacy and His role in God’s sovereign plan for redemption, assuring that those who trust in Him will not be put to shame or confounded in the hereafter.
