When Peter refers to Jesus as a capstone, in his letter to the early church, he brings to mind a powerful image...
“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone" - 1 Peter 2:7
When builders constructed an arch they always carefully placed the last stone (capstone) into it's place. The whole arch could collapse if the capstone wasn't the right size or if it simply didn't fit.
When we put things together in our lives where does Jesus fit in? Is he the capstone - the all important piece keeping us together, or have we forgotten to include him in our lives?
