Stone breaker relating to the bible
In the Bible, the "stone breaker" is a metaphorical reference to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Stone" or the "Rock" (Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17). This title is derived from Psalm 118:22, which says, "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone."
In this context, the "stone breaker" refers to Jesus' role as the one who breaks down the barriers between God and humanity, and who brings salvation to those who believe in Him. The phrase is often used to describe Jesus' work of redemption, where He breaks the power of sin and death, and brings new life to those who put their faith in Him.
In the New Testament, Jesus is often referred to as the "Stone" or the "Rock" in the following passages:
- Matthew 21:42: "Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone"?'"
- Mark 12:10: "And Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone"?'"
- Luke 20:17: "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'Did you never read in the Scriptures: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone"?'"
- 1 Peter 2:7-8: "Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone, and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense even to the Gentiles, and a house of prayer for all nations."
In these passages, Jesus is referred to as the "Stone" or the "Rock" because He is the foundation of the Christian faith, and the one who brings salvation to those who believe in Him. The phrase "stone breaker" is often used to describe Jesus' work of redemption, where He breaks down the barriers between God and humanity, and brings new life to those who put their faith in Him.
