Brokenness: The Way God Conforms Us to His Son

Bruce Power (South Campus) | Isaiah 66:1-2

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
   a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
—Psalm 51:17

Thus says the Lord:
“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house that you would build for me,
    and what is the place of my rest?
All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
    he who is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.—Isaiah 66:1–2

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

“‘The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;
this was the Lord's doing,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”—Matthew 21:42–44
