Psalm 118:22-23 NLT
The Stone that the builders rejected has now become the Cornerstone. [23] This is the LORD's doing, and it is wonderful to see.
As an Arsenal fan, it is galling to recall that two of the best strikers which the Premier League has known were brought through the club's academy but were rejected as not being good enough.
Andy Cole and Harry Kane both found clubs that spotted their true worth and those teams thrived on their goals.
Jesus, as the Bible clearly states, came to Israel first, humanly speaking, His own people, but, as a nation, they rejected Him.
Matthew 23:37 NLT
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let Me.
John 1:11 NLT
He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him.
How amazing that this "Rejected Stone" has become the Foundation Stone of Saving Grace:
Isaiah 28:16 NLT
Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "Look! I am placing a Foundation Stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested Stone. It is a precious Cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken.
There's no other foundation worth building a life on... Jesus is the only One who will never fail or disappoint.
Ephesians 2:17-18 NLT
He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near. [18] Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
Hallelujah!
