Why is Christ referred to as 'our stone'?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called 'our stone' to symbolize stability, refuge, and the foundation of our faith.

In the sermon, the speaker illustrates that Jesus Christ is referred to as 'our stone' because He serves multiple roles in the believer's life—He is our refuge, our law, our victory, and our sustenance. Throughout Scripture, the stone metaphor emphasizes Christ’s attributes: He sustains us like a solid foundation (Acts 4:11), offers rest as a pillow does (Genesis 28:11-22), and is the cornerstone of God’s building (Ephesians 2:20). This imagery demonstrates the vital relationship between Christ and believers, affirming that our lives are built upon Him as the ultimate source of strength and salvation.
