BECOMING the Chief Corner Stone

Jesus (a Hebrew above all Hebrews) was to BECOME "the head stone of the corner" (Ps.118:22 below), "the chief corner stone" (Eph.2:20, Deut.32:4 below), of His living body, the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:24 below).

At Jesus' baptism Jesus BECAME "the head stone of the corner", "the chief corner stone" of the church of God. From that point Jesus began His ministry (Acts 10:37 below).

All who are in Jesus Christ have BECOME a “new” creature (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below), individually, as well as collectively, Jesus'living body, the church of God.

There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ Jesus, we are all one (Gal.3:28 below), the church of God.


Ps.118:22 The stone (Jesus) which the builders refused IS BECOME the head stone of the corner (Eph.2:20 below).

Eph.2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Ps.118:22 above):

Deut.32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Acts 10:37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

Col.1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

2 Cor.5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (Gal.6:15 below).

Gal.6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).

Gal.3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
