“‘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.
