Sermon Illustrations for the Fourth Sunday after Easter (2015)
Acts 4:5-12
In our lesson Peter says that Jesus is the cornerstone. A cornerstone holds the whole building together. Christ holds our lives together.
Sigmund Freud said that “Love and work are the cornerstones of your humanness.” To have Christ as your cornerstone entails that we live with the awareness that all our loves, all our work are for Christ. And then we can say with the Shorter Catechism of the Presbyterian Church: “What is the chief end of man? Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”
