The Saving Stone

Gen 49, 50; Ps. 8; Luke 20
Scripture: Jesus looked at them and said, “Tell me, what does the Scripture mean when it says, ‘The stone that the builders rejected as worthless was the very one needed to hold up the Temple’? That stone represents the Messiah. Whoever falls on this Stone will have his heart broken. But those who reject this Stone will someday see it coming, and it will fall on them, and crush them.” Luke 20: 17, 18

Observation: People, the builders, who reject the Stone, which is considered worthless and to represent Jesus, will never have salvation. Those who reject Him will see Him coming in all His glory and those Stones will fall on them and break them.

Application: We need to build up our Stones in our lives. We need to continually read our bibles to know what God wants for us and how we should act towards one another. To know God and for God to know us, so one day when He comes to gather us all up He won’t be saying to you, “I know you not, but come into the great supper I have prepared for you.”

Prayer: Dear Lord please help me to build up my life on the rock of your salvation. Help me to stop sinning and be more like You. Amen
