As we lead up to Easter we will begin to consider some of the Psalms that Jesus prays or cites in the gospels. Matthew 118 is one of these (see Matthew 21:42). The image of the 'stone the builders rejected' is a powerful one for Jesus to use as he appraoahes the cross and answers the Pharisees. In many ways Psalm 118 is a prayer of thanks, praise, and blessing. In Jesus hands it becomes a warning to the religious leaders that they are missing the activity of God in Jesus.
