Psalm 118:22-24 “The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the LORD’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Why should we rejoice? Because in addition to God giving us life and the universe to live in, He has also given us salvation!

Acts 4:11-12 “He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’ There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given amongst men, by which we must be saved!”

Ephesians 2:19-22 “So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.”

1 Peter 2:4-8 “Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious. You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Because it is contained in Scripture, ‘Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.’ For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,’ and, ‘a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.’ For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.”
