Christ in the Old Testament - 09.19.2025

Christ in the Old Testament

Psalm 118:22 (ESV) — “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

Meditation

This verse points us to Christ, the cornerstone of God’s saving work. Though rejected by men, despised and crucified, He is chosen and precious in God’s sight. The builders—Israel’s leaders—cast Him aside, yet He became the foundation upon which the whole Church rests. A cornerstone is not optional but essential; without it the structure cannot stand. So it is with Christ: apart from Him there is no salvation, but in Him the household of faith is secure. What the world discarded, God exalted, showing that His wisdom triumphs over human pride. In the risen Christ, the rejected stone has become our sure foundation.
