The Stone...

The stone which the builders rejected, this became the chief corner stone.
Luke 20:17

He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone.. John 8:7

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb Luke 24:2

Wow, they ....we... didn't see it. He is our rock, our reedemer...the foundational corner stone of our faith,... the one without sin,... the only one who would conquer death, and He lives!

The words to a song we use to sing in church...

"He's my rock and He is my redeemer, He's my strength and my salvation. In you O Lord, I recieve my reward, and His love is everlasting."

He is our chief corner stone, He was the only one who was without sin, He is the one that conquered death and rolled the stone away. Knowing all of this, do you allow Him to reign in your life or do you use Him to throw at others? How many stones have hit you that others throw in His name? What happens if you think about it.

This thought has really been on my mind. The story in John 8 is about a woman that was caught in adultry. They wanted to have her stoned...yet, Jesus forgave her. Which side are you on?

Hey Nancy,

Thanks for the encouragement. I just happened to check my email before I signed off for the night. God is so good and we may never know why things happen this side of heaven. What I do know, is that if we take the life experiences that are tossed our way and use them to help others, they are not in vain.

God bless,
Diane
