Psalm 118:22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.
Jesus is that stone for us, of course. Jesus is the stone that was rejected by all the builders. Jesus is the stone rejected by the people who "knew better" what a Messiah should look like. Jesus is the stone that was rejected because he wasn't strong enough, wasn't wise enough, wasn't from the right family, didn't have the right training. Jesus is the stone that God has turned into the chief cornerstone. Jesus is the one who shows us how different God's standards are from our own. Jesus is the chief cornerstone on which our faith, our life, and our hope are built.
And that's good news for you. Because if I'm guessing right, you've been rejected at some point. You've been judged not worthy. You've been judged as from the wrong side of the tracks or too young or too old or too something. God has a habit with people who are rejected. God likes to reclaim rejected stones from the scrap-heap. So what's God doing with you today?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
