Christ is the precious cornerstone that God Himself laid—the firm and chosen foundation of His church. To believers, He is invaluable, the One who never disappoints and upon whom all hope is securely built. Yet Scripture also teaches that the same Christ whom God honors is the One the disobedient reject, stumbling over His word and turning away from the very foundation meant to save them. This lesson reminds us that true faith recognizes the worth of Christ, embraces Him as the cornerstone, and stands firm upon the One whom God has exalted.
