Scripture:
"Jesus
said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone
which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This
was the Lord's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'" Matthew
21:42
Reflection:
As we
journey along our Lenten path toward Easter, we pause for a moment
for a reminder of the rejection of Jesus. Jesus told his disciples
that he would be rejected, be killed and be raised from the dead.
They didn't quite understand what he was talking about until it
actually happened as he said it would.
The stone
that was cast aside by the people he came to save, became the chief
cornerstone of the foundation upon which the Church would be built.
This was the Lord's doing. That same cornerstone, that one who would
be rejected, is also the foundation for our lives. Are we truly
building our lives on the foundation of Jesus?
Prayer:
Lord, you
are our rock, you are our firm foundation. Keep us from building our
lives on ground that is not stable, ground that is not sure, ground
that will wash away when the floods of life rush our way. May we not
forget that your rejection, became the means of our acceptance by the
Father. For this we are eternally grateful. Amen.
