As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

What Kind of Christian

It doesn’t matter if you are a legalistic fundamentalist. If you only have the law but don’t have the bread from heaven you are still hungry. It doesn’t matter if you are a bleeding-heart liberal. If you only love your neighbor and don’t have the bread from heaven you are still hungry. It doesn’t matter if you obey all the rules made up by mere men. If you only have traditions and don’t have the bread from heaven you are still hungry. It doesn’t matter if you break all the rules made up by mere men. If you only have your freedom and don’t have the bread from heaven you are still hungry. The only kind of Christian that really matters is the kind that comes to Jesus. Only his teachings and his nourishment can truly satisfy (John 6:24-35).
