The Chief Cornerstone

by Dean Rerekura

Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

Matthew 21:42

I have the privilege of working a few days a week at Oran Park Public School.
I assist teachers and students as a teacher’s aid.
The year 6 class are reading a book at the moment which tells the story of the history of Australia, and the class is up to the gold rich era.
The part of our history where many searched for that which would make them rich.

Like a precious jewel that someone discarded, and another discovered.
Like a cure for a deadly disease that has been unveiled.
Like a buried treasure that someone forgot, that has been uncovered.

Like a stone that someone rejected, that has become he cornerstone.

To realize that the hope, peace, love, and acceptance you have been looking for, is found in a person who knows you name, and calls you by name – to come follow Him.

Yes – The Lord HAS done this.
Yes – The Lord has DONE this.
Yes – The Lord has done THIS.

Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
— Matthew 21:42
