JESUS' MINISTRY IN JERUSALEM

Mark 12:1-12 (NIV) part 2

The Stone the Builders Rejected (v.10-12)

(Jesus speaking) ¹⁰Haven't you read this scripture:

" 'The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;
¹¹the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

¹²Then they looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.

Jesus referred to himself as the stone rejected by the builders.  Although He would be rejected by most of the Jewish leaders, He would become the cornerstone of a new "building," the church (Acts 4:11,12).  The cornerstone was used as a base to make sure the other stones of the building were straight and level.  Likewise, Jesus' life and teaching would be our (the church's) foundation.

Question is:  Is He Your foundation?  Or is it money?  That man or woman in your life?  Your family?  Your job? Money? Your so-called "purpose"? 

Our number one purpose is to praise our King, and through any assignments that are given to us, the purpose remains the same; to bring God's Glory.  So I ask all of us again, Is Jesus Your foundation?  If He isn't, today is your day to turn that around.  My personal desire for all of us, is for Jesus to be our everything!!!!   Don't you desire that?   Let's pray...

Prayer: Jesus, like our worship song declares - You are my firm foundation, the Rock of my salvation and I put my hope in Your Holy Word.  I put my hope - through my actions - in Your Holy Word.  Thank You Jesus.  We rejoice in You today and every day.  Amen!
