Cornerstone

Pattern for this Prayer Square comming soon

Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

The conerstone was the foundation stone that everything was built upon. It sets up the whole structure for a building. Everything else is built around it. Jesus is that foundation.

I think that is fairly common knowledge amongst Christians

In building stone bridges each stone is very important but you'll notice the one stone in the center. Its shape is different. It is the keystone. It is what locks all the stones in place. without it the structure would collapse.

Jesus needs to be that foundation in everthing in our lives. We also need him to be in the center of our lives. Our focus and centering force.

Without him we can do nothing the Bible says.

He is what makes each of us strong.

I read up on bridge building and one statement stood out. It said the bridge is only as strong as the weakest stone. We need each other to keep strong too. We reinforce each other with our prayers, our encouraging words, and our willingness to serve each other.

When there is weight and movement on the bridge, the vibration of it goes througout the whole bridge and the weight is evenly distributed through each stone.

Together and with Jesus we can withstand the storms and pressures in life.
