One of American’s greatest national monuments, Mount Rushmore, lies in the Black Hills of South Dakota. There, carved into a mountainside near the small town of Keystone, are the faces of some of the greatest Presidents in the history of our nation: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt.
Gutzon Borglum was the one who undertook the enormous project of carving the faces into the granite cliffs. He worked on the monument from 1927-1941. While most of the work was completed under Gutzon, he actually died before its completion. His son Lincoln carried on his father’s work for a short time. Today Mount Rushmore proudly stands in testimony of the greatest and most free country the world has ever known. If you have never experienced Mount Rushmore…I strongly encourage you to see it.
The Bible says Jesus Christ is our Chief Cornerstone. He stands in testimony of the greatest news to ever reach the ears and hearts of humankind. God loves us and saves us by His grace. God’s Son, Jesus Christ, came to earth to accomplish the work set out by the Father, namely to free us from sin and adopt us as His own children. Today, His Church is built on the foundation of Jesus Christ…and we exist for His purpose and glory, being held together in Christ. This week’s stories celebrate Christ as our foundation. Put your faith in God and in the sure foundation of the Chief Cornerstone…Jesus Christ.
