Matthew 21v42-46

Heavenly father
give us grace to seek first your kingdom and bear its fruit today 

⁴² Jesus said to them, ‘Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes”?
⁴³ ‘Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 
⁴⁴ Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.’
⁴⁵ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 
⁴⁶ They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.
