1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
The conditional promise is: if you believe, then you will not be confounded. Believers need to take this promise to the bank in confounding, confusing, bewildering, frustrating, and disappointing times. ”Confounded” means disappointed, put to shame, humiliated. Place your hope and trust in Jesus and you will not end up being let down and disappointed. You won’t be sorry you trusted in Christ. We may confidently place our life and our future in His hands. Romans 5:5: ”Hope does not disappoint (put us to shame).”
Jesus is the chosen and precious cornerstone that gives shape and structure to the whole building. In other words, all of us living stones ”look like Jesus,” we reflect the love of God. If you believe in Jesus you will be Christ-like.
There will be times when we become disappointed with God, when it seems that prayers are not being answered, when things look bleak. It is especially during such times that we look not at the things that are seen, but we look with faith at the things that are unseen, at the cross and at the faithfulness of God. No matter what it looks like now, in the end you will not be confounded or disappointed.
