Mark 12:1-12... Parable of the Tenants... Reflect

Our gospel says something equivalent–which it applies to Jesus in this case–with the quotation of Psalm 118: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” In the psalm, this verse refer to Israel. This nation had always been looked down upon by the great surrounding empires, which saw themselves as architects of the world. But the Psalmist knew that, in God’s economy, despised Israel would someday become the most important nation on earth.
We must never forget, as Christians, that things are rarely what they seem. A lot of so–called ordeals or painful events in our lives turn out to be blessings in disguise. Anything can lead us to God, even rejection and death. If we live out lives in faith and trust in God, we will always end up being keystones in God’s great work of salvation.
