Acts 4

When visiting the Holy Land several years ago, we were told that Jesus was probably more of a stone mason than a carpenter. Nazareth used stone for building rather than wood. Consequently, He was very familiar with stone and stonework. He was referred to as the Stone which was the head of the corner in Peter’s discourse to the rulers and elders of Israel who challenged the authority of the Apostles.

It’s the same today. Leaders and unbelievers are essentially rejecting Christ, the Cornerstone. He is the Rock of offense. He is the element they reject about Christianity. They can take the piety and good works and rules of appropriate conduct etc., but they HATE JESUS.

It’s ALL about Christ … the stone that the builders rejected. Sad, because He’s the ONLY WAY to God and eternal life in heaven.
