On Christ, The Solid Rock I Stand.

Isaiah 28:1-22
Jesus Christ is ‘the precious Cornerstone’. He is ‘the sure Foundation’(16). Jesus is the Name of our salvation - ‘Salvation is found in no-one else... there is no other name... by which we must be saved’(Acts 4:10-12). There is only one ‘Foundation’ for our faith - ‘Jesus Christ’(1 Corinthians 3:11). He is the ‘chosen and precious Cornerstone’- ‘to you who believe, this Stone is precious’(1 Peter 2:6-7). Build your life on Christ, ‘the solid Rock’- ‘My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; no merit of my own I claim, but wholly trust in Jesus’ Name. When weary in this earthly race, I rest on His unchanging grace... When earthly hopes are swept away, He will uphold me on that Day. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand. All other ground is sinking sand’(Matthew 7:24-27; Mission Praise, 473).

Isaiah 28:23-29:16
‘The wisdom of the wise will perish’(29:14). There is another ‘wisdom’, a ‘wisdom’ which shall not perish, a ‘wisdom’ which is ‘wiser than man’s wisdom’. Christ is ‘the Wisdom of God’(1 Corinthians 1:24-25). With Christ as our Saviour, we ‘shall not perish’. Through faith in Him, we receive the ‘wisdom’ which brings ‘salvation’(John 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15). Jesus Christ is ‘the Way, the Truth and the Life’(John14:6). He is the Way to true wisdom. He is the Truth upon which true wisdom is based. He is the Life which is based on true wisdom. He is true Wisdom. We must not seek wisdom apart from faith in Jesus Christ - ‘the world did not know God through wisdom’. There is one true wisdom which does ‘not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God’- faith in ‘Christ crucified’(1 Corinthians 1:21-23; 2:1-5).
