108. The Cornerstone - Mark 12:9-12

Jesus has just told a parable about humanity's foolishness, particularly about the foolishness of false religion. The workers in the vineyard, who enjoy all its benefits, have just killed the owner’s Son, thinking that in this way, they could have the vineyard for themselves.<br />
<br />
To drive home the lesson, Jesus then quotes a passage from Psalms about a block of stone rejected by the builders but which God had turned into the cornerstone of the building.<br />
<br />
Jesus spoke in the temple courts, and the magnificent temple loomed above them. Every building had a cornerstone at the top of the central arch, supporting the weight and holding it together. Everyone who heard Jesus got the point.<br />
<br />
Jesus was saying that He was the stone that held everything else together. Yes, they could reject Him, but He was the beloved Son, the one whom God had chosen.<br />
