Thematic Bible: Of Christ's rejection, the rejected conerstone


Thematic Bible




He is "the stone that was rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone.'


As you come to him, the living stone who was rejected by people but was chosen and precious in God's sight,

Jesus asked them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, and it is amazing in our eyes.'? That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce fruit for it. The person who falls over this stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush anyone on whom it falls."

But Jesus looked at them and asked, "What does this text mean: "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."
