The power of Love

Morning: Psalm 18:1-20; Amos 4.6–13; 2 Peter 3.11–18

Evening: Psalm 18:21-50; Matthew 21.33–46

There is relentless certainty in Jesus’ statement: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’, the most important stone of the building. For the world, what Jesus represents – the power of Love – is the rejected stone. But do not stand in the way of this ‘stone’, or it will ‘crush’ you. It sounds contradictory that Love crushes anyone or anything. But perhaps it helps to think of it like this … Jesus knows that, ultimately, the power of Love overwhelms and crushes the power of evil and death.  Take care not to oppose the way of Love.
