Cornerstone!

Look at any church building and you might just find a cornerstone. That stone might give the name of the church and the date the church building was dedicated. It is a prominent stone and the rest of the structure is build around it. Jesus Christ is the cornerstone that we build upon. Our Lord is the most important part of the structure of our lives and our faith. We need to place our total faith and trust in him. Jesus says this in our gospel, Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes." God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to be our Savior. Jesus kept telling his disciples what was going to happen to him, that he would be handed over, put to death, crucified, and in three days, rise from the dead. Yes, Jesus is the stone that was rejected, but he is now the cornerstone, and it is truly wonderful. We need to build our lives, our faith on Jesus Christ who is the cornerstone because he will give us the grace and strength that we need. The cornerstone is a very important fixture in our lives. May we let the love and life of Christ always shine forth! God Bless You!!!
