“The stone the builders rejected” (Mark 12:10)
“Denied!” “Don’t call us; we will call you...” Have you ever felt rejected? How you ever felt that you were not given your due, not being understood, or not given the way you feel you deserve? What made you feel like that? How have you dealt with feelings of rejection? Have you ever thought that “the other” may have had a good and neutral reason not to give in to what you expected? Have you ever been in the need to hire or to fire someone or to give or deny a promotion to someone in your line of work? How you ever felt conflicting emotions about someone who is racially or socially very different to you? How can we deal with the social and racial divide? Is there a role for us to play here at St Paul’s?
“Anyone who comes to me I will never drive away” (John 6:37). How can we live up to Christ’s example? How could we materialize such attitude in our own lives and in the life and ministry of our Church?
