Summary: God’s help through rejection
Beloved you might not know what the future holds but you must step forward with grit anchored in grace.
“Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
??Matthew? ?21:42? ?NKJV??
Think with me for a moment, the Bible says the stone that the builders rejected has become the great of the least and this was the Lord’s doing and it was marvelous. Listen to me if you haven’t heard anything else when everyone else has decided to reject you and has decided to put you aside God is planning to make something great out of you. Do you hear me this morning Gods work is marvelous so don’t be perplexed when your not accepted by the world or those who are apart of it because God is not of this world but wants to save it. See as I close beloved God in scripture has made it very clear that when he does something it is to the fullest and so don’t be like those who pursue the flesh you would only go but so far, those who follow the world you will only go but so far but be what God has called you to be and embrace the promises of God so you can experience the wonders of a mighty Savior this morning. God is about accepting what others have rejected. You do not have to live and die in the island of rejection rather be saved from this perverse generation and receive Christ this morning.
A young boy traveling by airplane to visit his grandparents sat beside a man who happened to be a seminary professor. The boy was reading a Sunday school take-home paper, and the professor thought he would have some fun with the lad. “Young man,” said the professor, “if you can tell me something God can do, I will give you a big, shiny apple.” The boy thought for a moment and then replied, “Mister, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I’ll give you a whole barrel of apples!”
God is a God of the miraculous beloved be blessed and come into all God has for your life.
