THEY DISOBEYED THE MESSAGE

6 For in the Scripture it says:

'See, I lay a Stone in Zion,

A chosen and Precious Cornerstone,

And the one who Trusts in Him

Will never be put to Shame.'

7 Now to you who believe, this Stone is Precious,

But to those who do not believe,

'The Stone the Builders Rejected

Has become the Capstone,' and

8 'A Stone that Causes men to Stumble

And a Rock that makes them fall.'

THEY STUMBLE BECAUSE THEY DISOBEY THE MESSAGE--

WHICH IS ALSO WHAT THEY WERE DESTINED FOR.
(1 Peter 2:6-8)
