” The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.” Luke 20: 17-18
The scripture today in Luke 20 is just as important in today’s world as it was in the time of Jesus. There were the Pharisees and Sadducees in the time of Jesus that would stand up and deny him to his face. They would threaten those who believed and called them blasphemers. Today we have many in this world, and in our own country, who are beginning to do the same thing. There are those who are beginning to strengthen their stand against those who believe in Christ and are becoming very bold in their actions. It is becoming more common to hear about, or to even witness, the burning of churches or even shootings and killings of Christians. This is not the time for us to become fearful and hide our heads, thinking these things will go away. I witnessed an immigrant on the news this past evening, who was damning those who were worshipping our Lords birth by just saying the phrase, ‘Merry Christmas.” They are the ones stumbling over the cornerstone of our Lord, the building block of our faith and strength. They will not last, but for as long as they do, we must stand up and not give in. We do have strong faith, understanding and wisdom from our God above. It is time to stand up and be counted for the name of Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
