Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone of the Church


Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that
believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1 Peter 2:6. Upon the foundation
that Christ Himself had laid, the apostles built the church of God. In the
Scriptures the figure of the erection of a temple is frequently used to illustrate
the building of the church. Zechariah refers to Christ as the Branch that
should build the temple of the Lord.
In the quarry of the Jewish and the Gentile world the apostles labored,
bringing out stones to lay upon the foundation. In his letter to the believers
at Ephesus, Paul said, "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are
builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit" (Eph. 2:19-22).
The apostles built upon a sure foundation, even the Rock of Ages. To this
foundation they brought the stones that they quarried from the world. Not
without hindrance did the builders labor. Their work was made exceedingly
difficult by the opposition of the enemies of Christ. They had to contend
against the bigotry, prejudice, and hatred of those who were building upon a
false foundation. Many who wrought as builders of the church could be
likened to the builders of the wall in Nehemiah's day, of whom it is written:
"They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that
laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the
other hand held a weapon" (Neh. 4:17).
Kings and governors, priests and rulers, sought to destroy the temple of God.
But in the face of imprisonment, torture, and death, faithful men carried the
work forward; and the structure grew, beautiful and symmetrical. At times
the workmen were almost blinded by the mists of superstition that settled
around them. At times they were almost overpowered by the violence of their
opponents. But with unfaltering faith and unfailing courage they pressed on
with the work. One after another the foremost of the builders fell by the hand
of the enemy. Stephen was stoned; James was slain by the sword; Paul was
beheaded; Peter was crucified; John was exiled. Yet the church grew. New
workers took the place of those who fell, and stone after stone was added to
the building. Thus slowly ascended the temple of the church of God.--The
Acts of the Apostles, pp. 595-597.
