Jesus, The Cornerstone
“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”
“Psalm 118:22-23”
It was an antique cabinet that had seen some hard years. “Let’s get rid of it,” the couple agreed; so, they placed it by the side of the road. The same day a truck stopped and picked up the discarded piece of furniture and hauled it off. Have you ever been glad to see something finally get hauled off? Now you have space for something new.
Later the couple went looking for another cabinet to replace the old one. They came across one of the most beautiful cabinets that they had ever seen. It cost much more than they wanted to spend, but both agreed that they had to have this one. As it was being brought into the house, they recognized the markings on the back. They had just bought back their old cabinet that someone had refurbished.
“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” Psalm 118:22-23
What a wonderful Savior. After he has been ignored, rejected, and even replaced by some; His glory has not changed. He is still the Rock on which we stand, and the Cornerstone by which we build our life. When all other things have disappointed and failed; Jesus will still be there.
On those occasions when the electricity failed, and the house became dark; did you ever get out the old oil lamp that once belonged to the generations before you? When the lights of this society fail, as they will without an eternal source of power; perhaps folks will return to Jesus whom they have put away from their heart.
“Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He’ll still be loving you.
When it looks like you’ve lost it all
And you haven’t got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.”
Grace and Peace, Rev Ray
