The Word and Son of God, Jesus Christ, who is, "the Author and Finisher of our faith," as, "the Chief Cornerstone," keeping every Christian able to worship the LORD in Truth and the Spirit, strengthened and standing rightly with God; for in Him we see and experience the manifestation of the Father's marvelous works done by the Holy Spirit, as members of His body, for our good and God's glory (Ps. 118:22-23, Is. 28:16-17, Heb. 12:2). Although leaders of the Jewish religion rejected their Messiah when He was alive, by overcoming death, ascending to the Father, and sitting at His right hand, enthroned to judge the living and the dead with all authority, "in Heaven and on Earth," given to Him, He remains the only Way leading to the Father, as His only begotten Son (Matt. 28:18, Luke 22:69-70, John 14:6).
So, let's hold on to our faith in Christ Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone, and we will never lose our eternity with the Father as branches in the True Vine, commissioned to bear much fruit, for His glory (John 15:5).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Ever-Loving and Gracious Father, for building my new life in You, on Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone, and keeping me anchored to He who is the Author and Finisher of my faith. Please help me to continue growing in trust and never be disappointed as a member of Christ's body, staying determined to depend on Him and rest together on the Last Day,
Amen.
From Acts 4:11
