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


Thematic Bible




This is the stone that was rejected by you builders. It became the chief corner stone.

Have you not read this Scripture: 'The stone the builders rejected was made the chief corner stone.' (Psalm 118:22, 23)

You came to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and precious with God.

Jesus said to them: Have you read the Scriptures, 'The stone the builders rejected has been made the chief cornerstone of the building. This was Jehovah's doing, and it is wonderful in our eyes.' (Isaiah 28:16) For this reason I tell you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a nation producing fruit. Any man falling on this stone will be broken. Any man having this stone fall on him will be crushed to dust.

He looked at them and asked what does the scripture mean: The stone that the builders rejected the same was made the head of the corner? Every one that falls on that stone shall be broken to pieces. Every one the stone falls on will be scattered as dust.
