"What then is this that is written:
"'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him."
O Jesus, may we not reject you! This passage that Jesus is quoting here is from Psalm 118:22. He is referring to it purposefully here, using it to reference the religious leaders who are rejecting Him as the Messiah. Isaiah prophesied that the "wise and knowledgeable" (builders) have rejected "the stone" (Jesus)- but that Stone has become the "cornerstone" of the church (the Head of the church in which all things hold together). I find this so fascinating, and so sad. The big religious leaders' hearts were hard before Jesus- they didn't even accept Him as the Christ! We've read over and over again throughout the New Testament how Jesus warns them of their unbelief and lack of salvation, yet instead of submitting to Him, they plot to kill Him lest their power be minimized. Well as this text ends with: Everyone who rejects Jesus will be cast into hell when the time comes that Jesus comes back to judge the living and the dead [paraphrased].
The same is for today. There are many "religious" people out there who do not know Jesus as their Savior. They care too much about their control in this world and they are not willing to let Jesus be their cornerstone, the foundation of their being. They think they can hold all things together... but one day, they will be broken to pieces. One day they will realize that only Jesus is the One that holds all things together. One day they will realize that Jesus is the Messiah and He does reign and rule now. One day they will realize they rejected the King.
Jesus is King whether you like it or not, whether He rides in on a donkey or a white war horse, whether you choose to bow your knee or not. One day "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord."(Philippians 2:10-11)
My prayer Friends, is that you will not reject Him now, but will call Him your King, and not just calling Him your King, but making Him your King. Let Him have full reign and rule in your life. He is a good King, a perfect King. May you not reject the Cornerstone, may you not be broken to pieces.
