Marvelous Doings of the Lord
"Surely you have read this Scripture: 'The stone that the
builders did not want became the cornerstone. The Lord did
this, and it is wonderful to us.'"
-- Mark 12:10-11 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus finishes his story by quoting a Scripture from the Old Testament
that will become one of his early followers' favorite passages. The
point of the quotation is simple: God can turn things around and do
great things with what looks like rejection and disaster. This is
precisely what God does. God raised his Son Jesus from the dead and
vindicated his life, his ministry, and his teachings. What begins
horribly -- the Son being murdered and his body desecrated outside the
city -- ends in something marvelous -- Jesus is raised and death is
defeated. While we hate the rejection, the wounds, the humiliation and
the death that Jesus endured, God has made this precious to us. It is
marvelous grace.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
My Father in heaven, the only one adequate response that I can give to
all that you have given to me through your Son is thank you! However,
dear Lord, I want that thank you to be more than words; I want to say
thank you with all of my being and show my appreciation with the way
that I live. In Jesus' name. Amen.
