Luke - Beyond Evil

Luke 20:17  And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?  

Psa 118:22  The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
Psa 118:23  This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
They were rejecting him and they probably knew this scripture.

Luke 20:18  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.  

That should have frightened them, what a strong warning. But, like Cain they proceeded to sin.

Luke 20:19  And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.  

Politicians, they feared the people, but not God. They pretended to serve God, but it was only their desire for power that they served.  

 Luke 20:20  And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.  

Wow, sneaky foolish hypocrites. Sounds like many of our own politicians, devoid of truth and character.
