Cornerstone

Eph. 2:20 (NKJV)

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

About 5 years ago, I did an addition on our house. We converted a falling down porch into a real room. In order to do so, we had to dig a new footer, pour a slab, and build a block wall. It took much thought and careful laying of the first block. A String was pulled to show the line, and the first block was laid in such a way, that when we got to the end of the wall, that it would line up perfectly. If the block was off by just a fraction of an inch, then the wall would have been off by as much as a foot in the end. Everything depended on that corner block. Jesus Christ is our cornerstone. We must build our lives in such a way that they perfectly line up with Him. By doing so, we not only end up where we should be, we are pleasing to our creator. Today, lets examine our lives and see if there are areas that we do not line up with Christ. Then adjust so that every area meets His perfect standard.
