In the olden days, builders used to build their houses and buildings based on a cornerstone. The cornerstone had to have straight edges, be of quality material and have great strength. If a cornerstone was crooked, the entire building would be lopsided. If it was of little strength, the weight of the additional blocks would cause it to crumble. The stone had to be perfectly laid because all other stones were to be set in reference to the cornerstone. Using this method, builders were able to make magnificent castles, bridges, statues, some which still stand today.
Just like these buildings, to build a strong, magnificent "house" of our lives, we need to be built on a cornerstone. Oftentimes, if we build our lives around "cornerstones" of money, friends, family, pleasure and so on, our "house" may crumble with time or our "cornerstones" may not be able to bear the weight!
The Bible calls Jesus the chief cornerstone. When we build our lives on Him, we can be assured that He will never fail or crumble. He provides the strength we need to build upon Him. As we build, we can be certain we are building our lives exactly in alignment with who God has created us to be! And we can be sure our "house" will last into eternity!
1 Peter 2:6
See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
