Messiah Was Presented, But Few Were Ready Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 6, 2009

The first thing we notice in these seven verses is the number of references to stones. Living stones. Precious stones. Corner stones. Stones that are chosen by God but rejected by men. A stone that causes people to stumble and fall. Now, think about that for a moment. Why would that be? Why would ...read more
