How is Jesus described as a 'tried stone'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is described as a 'tried stone' because He has been tested and proven faithful in all aspects.

The term 'tried stone' signifies that Jesus has endured trials and temptations yet remained sinless and faithful. This assurance is pivotal for believers, as it confirms that He is a reliable foundation for their faith. In Isaiah 28:16, this depiction assures us of His proven character. The New Testament reaffirms this by indicating that Christ’s life and sacrifice provide the ultimate model of righteousness. Hence, He assures all who believe in Him that they will never perish because He has succeeded where all others fail.
