The Savior Is Our Sure Foundation
Isaiah 28:16
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland wrote:
“Jehovah said to the prophet Isaiah that in building the kingdom of God on earth, a ‘stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation’ would be used (Isaiah 28:16). He was, of course, speaking of Himself. Paul used that same imagery in declaring that Jesus was the chief cornerstone, that basic block around which a foundation of apostles and prophets would be laid and onto which the Church of God would be built (Ephesians 2:20).”
