What does it mean that Christ is a tried stone?

Answered in 1 source

A 'tried stone' means that Christ has been tested through suffering and trial, proving His strength and reliability as a foundation for faith.

The term 'tried stone' refers to the tests and trials that Jesus faced throughout His life, revealing His unwavering wisdom, patience, and power. His responses to challenges, such as when He was tempted by Satan or when He calmed the storm, exemplify His tried nature. This concept assures believers that Jesus has faced all manner of human suffering and temptation, yet remained faithful and steadfast. Thus, His tried nature not only verifies His strength but also provides a model for how believers can endure trials themselves, knowing they are anchored to a foundation that has withstood such tests.
