What does the Bible say about Jesus being a living stone?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes Jesus as a living stone, chosen by God and precious, serving as the foundation for believers.

In 1 Peter 2:4, Jesus is referred to as a 'living stone' that is disallowed by men but chosen by God. This metaphor highlights His unique role as both foundation and cornerstone of the faith, reflecting His strength and endurance. Just as a stone provides a solid base for buildings, Christ serves as the foundation for the spiritual temple made up of believers, who are described as 'lively stones' built in Him. His life-giving nature symbolizes the nourishment and growth that comes from faith in Him.
