Cornerstones are thought of as commemorative stones, often containing a time capsule to be opened in a hundred years. The cornerstone is laid in a dedication ceremony at the completion of a building. But originally, a cornerstone had an architectural function. It had perfect right angles and was the first stone to be set. It became the basis for the entire building and every stone or brick that was laid was aligned with the cornerstone. If the cornerstone was perfectly square, the rest of the building was in alignment. But if the cornerstone was crooked, then everything was out of alignment.
The Bible refers to Jesus as the cornerstone of history. He’s the standard of truth and the basis for everything that God is doing in the world. And when we make Jesus our cornerstone, our lives can be aligned with him.
