Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

You can’t really understand the real Jesus if you only look at his birth and his death. You must also look at his words and his deeds during his life.

To study the words and deeds of Jesus, we’re going to look in the Gospel of John, starting with John 1. It’s one of the most famous passages of the Bible, with too much great stuff to possibly discuss it all.

So I’d like to give a top-level view of it, looking at the three main parts: 1) a radical, amazing claim, 2) the rejection of the claim, and 3) the answer to the objections to and rejection of the claim.

In ancient architecture, the cornerstone was the first stone laid, and it had to be the most perfectly cut stone and the strongest stone. Because, you see, what the cornerstone is, the house is. If the dimensions of the cornerstone are off, the house is off. If the cornerstone is true, the house is true. If the cornerstone crumbles in any way, the entire house will be compromised or lost.

All of this is the background to when Peter says this about Jesus: “Come to him, to that living Capstone which is the Cornerstone, rejected by men but chosen by God, for it is written, ‘Whoever trusts in him will never be put to shame.’”

This metaphor of the cornerstone tells us 1) Jesus is to be our life’s foundation, 2) Jesus is our federal head, and 3) Jesus is to be the love of our life.
