What does the Bible say about the chief cornerstone?

Answered in 11 sources

The Bible refers to Christ as the chief cornerstone, highlighting His essential role in the Church as both foundation and structural support.

In 1 Peter 2:6, it is stated, 'Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.' This chief cornerstone is a reference to Jesus Christ, affirming that He is not only the foundation of faith but also integral to the cohesion of the Church as a spiritual house. The role of Christ as the cornerstone emphasizes God's divine purpose in establishing the Church built upon Him, known as the living stone, chosen and precious. This ties back to Isaiah 28:16, where God promises a sure foundation for His people during times of judgment.
