'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes?' (Mark 12v10-11)
Jesus came for rejection & exaltation
Jesus came for rejection - Christ won't fit our world
1) Christ chooses rejection
Rejection take many forms:
1) To keep their identity
2) Because of their rationality
3) By their morality
Proud rejection leads to destruction - God has made him the cornerstone
See Him as marvellous
It's safe to give him your all
He doesn't reject any who give him their all
