March 28, 2014 - Friday

Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’ ? (Luke 20:17 NIV)

Rejection hurts.  And Jesus felt that pain.  

If it were not so horribly tragic, it would be comic to consider the absurdity of it...that the infinite, almighty creator of the universe would humble his boundlessness by taking on the puny form of a human man, only to be mistreated and rejected by other men (in this case the religious leaders of the time), mere specks of dust in the vastness of his own creation.

In today's verse, Jesus quotes Psalm 118 (verse 22), referring to himself as the the cornerstone.

Today, I will welcome the rejection that comes from my faith in Jesus.
