A Living Cornerstone | Jesus Christ the Messiah

Jesus Christ is one of history's most noted public figures worldwide. For some, Christ’s life and image are mythical, vampire-ish, witchery, an illusion, and a mechanism to control and constrain individuals' thinking and way of living.

For others, Christ's life is proof of redemption, mercy, a “righteous” judgment, sacrificial love, and much more. Though millions worldwide recently celebrated and culturally recognized “Easter Sunday," believers in the biblical teachings of Christ recognized this day as resurrection -- to recover "all".

A resurrection that not only focused on recovering from a "physical death" but on recovering in life as well -- for all who believe.

WHO IS JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH?

There are many religious texts and teachings on the life of Christ. Specifically focusing on the biblical text, Christ has existed since the beginning (and let “US” [plural] make man in Our image…).

The earlier writers of the “first” (old) Testament spoke on the coming of Christ. His birth is an immaculate conception, death a sacrificial offering, and resurrection a divine promise for salvation and to rise again for all who believe in His name. Again, this is from biblical scripture.

In simpler terms, Jesus Christ the Messiah is the restorer, redeemer, and righteous judge. 

CHRIST, JUST A GOOD MYTHICAL STORY?

Jesus biblical is a part of the God-head trinity (God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Biblically, He is also God in the flesh (I and my Father are one). Christ's life from birth to death and a “questionable”

resurrection leave many stunned that people could believe and possess such hope that someone seemingly from a well-thought-out “fictional” book.

From a talking donkey to a man trapped in the belly of a whale for three days, a sea parting from a supernaturally empowered rod (large stick), three boys not consumed by a blazing fire when placed in a furnace, and many other vile deaths, harsh punishments, debilitating sickness, abuse from leaders, and intense contradictions that make people question not only the bible but Christ as well.

Although there are more details one can discuss, Christ's existence is a mythical story to some, but it is an evidential truth to others who have experienced the depth of His presence.

A LIVING CORNERSTONE

Christ was simply the living cornerstone during His time on earth. A cornerstone is essential to form the foundation or uphold a building. Christ's essence, being, and purpose are the blueprint for all who “decide” to believe. Christ was not soft, passive, indirect, or weak. He was not controlling, manipulative, or aggressive. He was assertive in His approach, authentic in love with godly truth, righteous in judgment, and compassionate towards those who desired Him.

Though Christ was rejected (“mainly” by His people and “religious” leaders), He became the “living” Cornerstone needed to bring God’s resurrected power onto the earth.

The same Cornerstone that becomes the solid foundation for believers to build on and become established in Him.
