Following the healing of the lame man in Acts chapter three, Peter gives a message to an audience that is the wealthiest, and the most intellectual, and the most powerful, and here Peter, a Galilean fisherman stands before them, and shares a message concerning Jesus Christ.
Right there was the court where they had condemned Jesus to death, and so Peter knew that he was taking his life in his hands. But Peter was willing to give his life for Christ.
In his message, Peter gives them an analogy of the rulers and leaders of Israel, being builders of a building, and that they threw aside the cornerstone of that building. The Chief cornerstone is Jesus, and they crucified Him. And Peter goes on to say that there is no salvation in any other person, and there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
Have we made Jesus the chief cornerstone of our lives? Have we come to Him for salvation, and for an example to line up to? Have we allowed Jesus to be Lord of your lives? "
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand." GP
