“‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’” (v17). The religious leaders challenged Jesus: “By what authority do you do these things?” (v2). They attempted to build their case against Him (v20), but Jesus turned the interrogation on its head, silencing them (7) and warning them with a parable of the tenants (v9-ff). The heirs of the kingdom are those who accept the Son, not simply the religiously pious (v16).

The “owner of the vineyard” has sent His Son, and our response to Him is what matters. True faith is based not on religious observance, or how spiritual one appears in public, but fundamentally on how we surrender to the authority of Jesus in our lives. We must build on the cornerstone and Him alone.
