I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is the LORD's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
(Psalm 118:21-24 ESV)
Rejection: that's the word to describe the majority response to the Messiah. He came and received a cold reception. But the LORD had a plan, that through it all He could still accomplish our salvation. That is what makes this day a day for rejoicing. His plan of salvation is amazing, mind-boggling, wonderful. As the Psalmist David begins and concludes this psalm: "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for HE is good; His steadfast love endures forever."
