“He shall be…for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense…(Isa. 8:14). “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner (Isaiah 28:16). The key that unlock this mystery is a simple one, it is belief or unbelief. To those who disbelieve, the Messiah would be a “rock of offense” and a “stone of stumbling.” Peter explains the mystery by showing that all depends on one’s attitude toward Christ, whether of faith or unbelief: “wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him will not be confounded. Unto you therefore who believe He is precious: but unto them which is disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the Word, being disobedient” (1Pet. 2:6-8; Rom. 9:32-33) As He did so often, the Lord Jesus called attention to the prophecy in the Old Testament, making Himself the New Testament fulfillment of it.

“Jesus said to them – the Pharisees – did you never read in the Scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?” (Matt. 21:42). The Lord also added this important statement: “Whosoever shall fall upon that stone (seeking His mercy and grace) shall be broken (his hope in his own ability to save himself completely crushed); but on whomsoever it shall fall (in judgment) it will grind him to powder (prepares him for eternal destruction)” (Luke 20:18). To the believer, Christ is the chief corner stone, and He is very precious. To the unbeliever, Christ is the stone of stumbling or rock of offence. To one, Christ brings eternal salvation; to the other, He brings judgment. Those who stumble in unbelief over Christ reject Him and fall to their own destruction.

Ephesians 2:20-21 states: “Being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; in whom each several building, fitly framed together, grow into a holy temple in the Lord. Peter put it right for us (in 1Pet 2:4-8), “unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, you also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Peter put it right to define us in a better way when he said: “Unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, you also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”

As already defined, The Corner Stone Brotherhood (TCSB) is a holy priesthood made up of 38 committed and ordained Pastors, Evangelists, Teachers, Prophets and Church Planters well-equipped and ever-prepared for a real-world Christian ministry. People who preach and minister in a post-modern anti-truth world; people who have understood the love of Christ and prepared to use both their spiritual and material blessings for the advancement of the gospel of Christ. We are fitly framed together to grow into a holy temple in the Lord Jesus. In addition to this, TSCB has counselors, singers, musicians, and other Christians who have burnt with a passionate passion to evangelize all people in all human situations.
