Rectangular Structures

American houses are basically built as a series of rectangles, so Americans tend to think of a corner stone as a brick at the corner of a rectangular structure.  But a cornerstone in Bible times refers more to the center stone in an archway.  All the other stones lean against the top center stone (cornerstone).  If you pull out the center stone, you destroy the stability of the structure.  

Jesus is your’s and my cornerstone (2 Peter 2:4-6).  Without him the stability of our lives is in serious question.  

Though my life has crumbled around me more than once, I have found in Jesus an undergirding foundation that is never removed though I have felt it shake a time or two.
