"The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner." (Psalm 118:22) "[Christ] is despised and rejected of men." (Isaiah 53:3)
Yet He is exalted above all, King of kings, and Lord of lords. That is the way God works, and it is because of that that we may rejoice. "God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are. In this is our hope." (1 Corinthians 1:27-28)--Present Truth, August 8, 1901--Original title: Back Page--Psalm 118:22.
