don't undermine it

Saturday: October 11th, Matthew 21: 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 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed." Oh, you mean all that grace is suppose to produce fruit? The corner stone, when building a building, that is the one on which you line up everything else. You measure from it to get the length and width and you measure from it diagonally to square and true things up. Without that starting point as a reference, you are just plain off. If you are a builder like me, there will be times when you will be looking at something else as you are walking about and you will trip over it (believe me, this is not just a metaphor) Whatever you do, you have to be aware of it. Trip over it a few times and you will be aware of it, it will break all your preconceived ideas and teach a little humility. I think the message of the cornerstone falling on someone is what happens when you try to undermine it. God will get our attention somehow.
