The Stone Of Contempt

Friday, June 15, 2012

In Psalm 118 it is written: "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone." In Hebrew there's a very striking word used. It's the word "ma'as." "Ma'as" means more than rejected. Messiah is the stone. And according to the Hebrew "ma'as" - He, as the stone, would be spurned, abhorred, held in contempt, despised, loathed. And so He was. And "ma'as" also means "cut off" - a Biblical way of saying "killed." So Messiah was killed - crucified. Now, if the first part of that ancient prophecy was fulfilled by Messiah Yeshua, Jesus, in precise detail, then so, too, will be the second. The rejected stone will become the chief cornerstone." He will be lifted up as the final and most glorious crowning stone of the Kingdom of Israel. That's the way of Messiah, the Cornerstone. And if you are His follower then it's true for you, too. Every rejection, every pain, every wound, and every wrong you've ever suffered in your life, will be turned around and for your good as the Lord lifts you up and turns every sorrow to glory. For that is the final chapter of the Stone of Contempt.
