Jesus Christ Our One Foundation

This hymn is based on Isaiah 28:16 where we read:

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
"Behold I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone,
a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed
He who believes in to will not be disturbed."

Foundation. What is it? We can think of many ideas that are synonymous with foundation but they all convey an understanding of strength, and the nature of being primary. We look to Christ as first, and pivotal. When I opened my Funk & Wagnalls at the word foundation, the single descriptive word ‘basis’ struck me. Isn’t this really what we mean. The singular basis of our faith is Christ.
