Matthew 21:42-44 ESV
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him. ”
Again Jesus refers to Scripture as He speaks to the Pharisees. He is the fulfillment of God's message and purpose, the cornerstone of salvation. We either fall on this stone, or the stone falls on us. Broken, we find new life. Crushed, we remain in the grip of death.
