Today's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/the-stone-that-the-builders-rejected/
Jesus quoted Psalm 118:22 at the end of the parable of the vineyard owner: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” In a few days, the religious leaders arrest Jesus and murder him. They look victorious, and he looks defeated, but this verse lets everyone know he will be victorious, and they will be defeated. Even though they rejected Jesus, God the Father chose to exalt him.

The men who remembered Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation. It was smaller. Plainer. Poorer.
And God said its glory would be GREATER.
He wasn't talking about the building.

The old men who had seen Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation.
Not because the work was bad. Because it wasn't what they remembered.
God's answer to discouraged builders was one word: Work.
