“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
God seeks a broken heart. A heart that cries out to Him. A heart fully yielded to him.
Romans 12:1-2 puts it this way - " Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Are you the person who is falling on the cornerstone, Jesus Christ. Are you on your knees with your body laid out on the stone as a living sacrifice. The picture Jesus gives is one who has thrown himself on the cornerstone, not a gentle lowering of the body. Picture someone walking along a path and trips and he falls against or on a large stone. You can be assured it will hurt. He could even break a leg or arm. Yet, it is better to fall on a large stone than a large stone falling on your head.
Jesus is saying fall on me and I will heal you, but if you choose not to, then I will fall on you and you will be crushed. This crushing He is speaking of here is destruction. If he falls on you, there is no hope of putting you back together.
Oh Lord help us to fall on you and deliver us from being crushed by you. God died that we would have life and have life more abundantly in Him. Let us fall on Him today.
