Jesus turned the world upside down. He reversed the values of the world. Supremely, on the cross, Jesus turned the world upside down. In an act of ultimate humiliation and apparent defeat he brought the greatest victory the world has ever known.
Jesus is ‘the living stone – rejected by human beings but chosen by God’ (v.4). Jesus is now the chief cornerstone in the church on which the whole church rests.
Jeremiah 17:7
‘Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.’
Trust is being able to let go and give oneself, or a situation, over to God, without holding back. It is a child in a parent’s arms, never doubting for a moment that they are safe.
