“‘The stone which the builders rejected has become
the chief cornerstone,’ and ‘A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.’”
1 PETER 2:7,8
The
people to whom
Jesus preached already had their own ideas about what the Messiah would
do, and what His Kingdom would look like. Unfortunately those ideas were
utterly wrong. So Jesus said they needed to repent: to change their
heart, to change their mind, to change their behavior, and to get ready
to experience something that went totally against their preconceived
ideas and notions.
To
enter the Kingdom of God and to
know the King around which this Kingdom is organized requires a radical
change on many levels. The way you perceive things, the way you relate
to things, the way you understand things – all of it has to be changed.
At the very least it must be challenged.
