Our God, who longs to bring us life and return us to his presence.... allows himself to be the fist stone laid at corner of this structure that we compose. He becomes the cornerstone, the bedrock upon which everything else can be built. It’s one the thing for him to tell us to “be a house” and that we should “make a place for him”. But he starts by setting the example. Everything that he expects us to do, HE DID. As Jesus he was tempted in every way and yet was without sin! (Hebrews 4:15). So, not only is he the figurative “cornerstone” he is literally a God that has been in the trenches so that he can understand what we’re going through and set the example for us!
