“Jesus said to 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 marvelous in our eyes’?

Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” – Matthew 21:42-44 (ESV)

Just as Jesus warned the chief priests and Pharisees that they’d severely erred in dismissing His doctrines and teachings, it’s important that we don’t make the same mistake in our daily lives.  By investing ourselves in learning His Word and striving to live by His example, we honor the amazing gift that was delivered to us through the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus.

    Phil you title these blog post so well. Summed the message in three words that will linger in my heart today. Reminded me of a quote I just read today: God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame. Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    Thanks Phil
