A Sure Foundation

Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.” Isaiah 28:16
Way back in the seventh century a well versed believer wrote a beautiful hymn. It is taken from today’s passage. “Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, chosen of the Lord and precious, binding all the Church in one.” I love this hymn a lot and often find myself just bursting out in song as the words tumble through my mind. This hymn is a blessed reminder of the Advent message.
In I John we find this simple verse: “The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.” God has sent His Son to be the foundation stone of redemption. He is not just any foundation, He is a sure foundation. He came at the first advent to die for mankind that all who believe in Him might have a sure and precious foundation for all eternity. What a wonderful vision Isaiah relates to us of God’s redemption story.

Dear Father, Help us daily to stand on the firm foundation of Christ. Amen.
