Who Laid The Foundation?

[ollie]

Why start or, rather end at verse 10, when the next verse answers the question, once for all.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Jesus, is the Rock of Offense which the builders rejected,and the stumnblingstone at which they stumbled, (Isa 8:11-18)

The foundation on which the Apostles built upon is also,  Jesus, the same stone which was cut out without hands, of Daniel 2:34, chapters 7, &  8.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Therefore let no man glory in men.   (1 Cor 3:11-21

Yes , the foundation Paul,the other apostles, and the prophets  laid is Jesus Christ. Jesus also being the chief cornerstone. Individual Christians being building blocks on this foundation, which together becomes an holy temple in the Lord and a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Ephesians 2:19.  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
 20.  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
 21.  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
 22.  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Amen, Ollie........

And while these verses are fresh on our minds, lets consider these verses with it;

1 Cor 3
10  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14  If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

I share these so that the context of these things we have been taslking about are not lost, in trying to establish who laid thge foundation.

Actually, the foundation is laid by God, He is the One that set the chief cornerstone, in this spiritual house, he is the One who has hewn  that stone cut out without human hands which Daniel spoke about in chapter 2:27-45, of whos kingdom there will no end.

Note in Daniel, it is "a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." verse 44, and it happens here on the earth.

And finally, here in this verse, it leaves no doubt who laid this foundation cornerstone;

Isa 28
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.

God Bless you,,
