Isaiah 28:16 (NLT) |
Matthew 22:42
(NLT)
|
Assuredly, Thus
said the Lord God: "Behold, I will found in
Zion,
stone by stone, a tower of precious
cornerstones
exceedingly firm;
He who trusts need not fear.
|
Therefore, This is what the sovereign God says:
Look, I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem. It is firm, a
tested and precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never run away again.
|
"Then Jesus asked them, Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures?"
"The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord's doing, and it
is marvelous to see"

Psalm 118:21-22
(NLT) |
Mark 12:10
(NLT) |
21 I praise You, for you have answered me, and have become my deliverance.
22
The
stone that the builders rejected has
become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord's doing; it is
marvelous in our sight. This is the Day the Lord has made---let
us exult and rejoice on it.
|
21 I thank you for answering my prayer and
saving me!
22 The stone rejected by the
builders has now become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord's doing, and
it is marvelous to see. This is the Day the Lord has made.

Romans 9:31
(NLT)

12 "You
must not call conspiracy All that that
people calls conspiracy Nor revere what it
reveres, Nor hold it in awe. 13 None
but the Lord of Host shall you account holy;
Give reverence to Him alone, hold Him alone
in awe.
14
He shall be for a
sanctuary, a
stone men strike against, a rock men stumble
over.
For
the two Houses of Israel, and a trap and a
snare for those who dwell in Jerusalem.
15
The
masses shall trip over these and shall fall
and be injured, shall be snared and be
caught |
12 Do not
be afraid that some plan conceived behind
closed doors will be the end of you. 13
Do not fear anything except the Lord
Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you
fear him, you need fear nothing else 14
He
will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah
he will be a stone that causes people to
stumble and a rock that makes them fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a
trap that entangles them. 15
many
of them will stumble and fall,
never to rise
again. Many will be captured. |
But the Jews, who tried so hard to get right
with God by keeping the law, never succeeded. Why not? Because they were
trying to get right by keeping the law and being good instead of by
depending on Faith. They stumbled
over the great rock in their path.
God warned them of this in the scriptures when he said,
"I am placing a
stone in Jerusalem that causes people to stumble, and a rock that makes them
fall, But anyone who believes in Him will not be disappointed.

1st Peter 2:5
(NLT) |
|
|
5 And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual
temple.
What's more you are God's Holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices
that please him because of Jesus Christ. As the Scriptures express it,
"I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, a chosen cornerstone, and anyone
who believes in him will never be disappointed.
"Yes, he is very precious to you who believe. But for you who reject
him,
"The stone that was rejected by the builders has now become the
cornerstone." And the Scriptures also say,
"He is the stone
that makes people stumble, the rock that will make them fall."
They stumble because they do not listen to God's word or obey it, and so
they meet the fate that has been planned for them.

|
Acts 4:11
(NLT) |
|
|
For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,
"The stone that you builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all heaven
for people to call on to save them."
|
|
|
Ephesians 2:20
(NLT) |
|
|
2:20 We are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the
prophets.
And the cornerstone is
Christ Jesus himself. |
|
|
1st Peter 2:4 (NLT) |
|
|
4
Come to Christ who is the living cornerstone of God's
temple.
He was rejected by the people, but he is precious
to God who chose him. |
