Ephesians 2:19-20 ” Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.”

What does being part of a family mean to you?  To me, it means walking in the front door without having to knock first.  It means having a place that I can call my own where I feel safe and secure.  But most importantly, being part of a family means I have people I can trust with my very life…that will be there for me at a moments notice, and will love me unconditionally.  The same goes for the Family of God…seeing that as Believers, we are now part of God’s household…and with it, all the benefits there of.    For this loving family circle we are part of is made up of all those who went before us, every precious saint that confessed Jesus Christ as Lord,  with the center of this family unit being Jesus Christ Himself.

Isaiah 28:16 ” So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.’ “

This Messianic prophecy of Isaiah’s pointed to the coming of Jesus Christ.  It correlates with the verse in Psalm 118:22 which  says, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.”  Jesus is the only firm foundation on which anyone can build their life.  He is the chief cornerstone of our faith and trust…for only through  Him do we have the forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life.

Isaiah 28: 16 ” So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.’ “

What are you standing on?  If you’re believing in the world’s standards and ideology, you’ll be disappointed and disillusioned.  But if your trust and faith is in the one sure foundation of Jesus Christ…regardless of upheaval around, you will be established firmly in His care.
