Following a recent discussion, I felt moved to post the appended link. After prayerfully asking the Lord how to entitle this message, the following Word of Knowledge was spoken: Stone. (A title that is in itself a message.)
Prophet Isaiah
Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes shall not make haste.(will never be shaken) (Is. 28:15)
Apostle Peter 700+ Years Later
Coming to Him as to a living stone (Jesus Christ as a Rock: The Rock who guided Israel in the wilderness 1.Cor. 10:4) rejected indeed by men (Israel’s unbelief and rejection of Jesus Christ.) but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones (Faithful Believers) are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone (In relation to architecture, a cornerstone is traditionally the first stone laid for a structure with all other stones laid in reference.) elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”( Conditional on Israel’s recognition, acceptance and belief of Jesus Christ as the First and Last Messiah and His finished works of redemption.) Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected (unbelief) Has become the chief cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” (1 Peter 2:4-8)
Keep the Faith,
