There was no marvel in seeing someone crucified on a cross, for many at the time were crucified on a cross.
But there was a marvel in what took place as a result of the cross.
What was that?

Marvel
Psa 118:21-24 (21) I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. (22) The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. (23) This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. (24) This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
When God says something, it comes to pass exactly, and 100% in the way he says it.
It is not good enough to say it is close enough, it has to line up 100%.
If he says it is going to be marvelous in people's eyes, that is exactly what is going to happen, and when people saw Jesus die on the cross, it was no marvel to them, some were sad, and some were happy to see him die, such as the pharisees.
But in this next scripture, you will see some type of marvel,
Mat 28:5-10 (5) And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. (6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (7) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. (8) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. (9) And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. (10) Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
It talks of them having not just a little joy, but great joy, no doubt they marveled.

Here is another scripture to think about?
1Pe 2:4-7 (4) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, (5) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
What makes us lively stones in Christ Jesus?
And yes the cross and the resurrection work together.
But what kind of life, do we have in Christ?

The life we have in Christ, is resurrection life, and their was marvel when people found out Jesus rose from the dead.
We become living stones through the resurrection of Christ.
1Co 15:13-17 (13) But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: (14) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. (15) Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. (16) For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: (17) And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
It says that if Christ be not raised, we are yet in our sins.
That is a very serious statement, but we know that Christ was risen.

So what is it saying??
Psa 118:21-24 (21) I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. (22) The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.(23) This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. (24) This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. So application wise, what is it saying to us today?? We know it mentions a day that the Lord has made, and for us to rejoice and be glad in it, and it is in connection to when Christ became the corner stone. And this was the Lord's doing, about Christ becoming the corner stone, and when it did happen, people did marvel, and the resurrection had to of happen, in order for the New covenant to be established. So I will say it again, application wise, what is it saying to us today?? John frienduff Cletus watchful Les tabitha3319 ohhello

Well before I get to what it is saying ( which I hope others will seek to give an answer to this, because I want to hear from others), I just want to mention the verses in the book of Acts, again: Act 4:7-12 (7) And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? (8) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, (9) If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; (10) Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. (11) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. These verse start with a question, of, " by what power, or by what name, have ye done this?" Well we know that it is by the name of Jesus, and really by resurrection power. So Peter answers this question, and key things, he says, are:"that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead" So you see the name of Jesus mentioned, and Jesus being raised from the dead, which was done by God's resurrection power. Then Peter mentions that the one who made this man whole (through resurrection power), was this thing mentioned about a stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Well Jesus was this stone, he was rejected on the cross, but became the head of the corner, by being raised from the dead. So this was Peter's answer, concerning by what power and name things were done in. frienduff John

Good thread Giller . I noticed you were looking for answers to questions, and I hope to have a chance to look at the passage more closely soon. I am just posting right now when I have a little time here and there. Even now, I am on a short break at work. Perhaps some others will join in during the meantime with some thoughts. I did not want to give a hasty reply with no thought. Once again, another good thread Giller.

Let us cling to the LORD . What is and what is coming will not be stopped nor stayed . WE in the last days my friend . Though an angel or a speaking donkey tried to persaude me these were not the last days , STILL i would not hear them . The signs are everywhere john . This world is never gonna even know it was nigh . But its NIGH my friend . The mystery of inquity has long been at work and its very full now my friend . As is the falling away . The Spirit of anti Christ is brining the churches and the world right into the full head of this son of perdition . My advice , yeah , dont take what they will soon offer . Our body does not belong to us , OR that satanic God hating system . Take nothing into our body from such a vile system . No matter what . Many are gonna take this thing my friend . But we had better not touch it . The thing about most folks is that they think worshipping the dragon means you actually say with your mouth i worship satan . BUT this is not the case . For i tell us all , none of us ever said with our mouth we worshipped satan , YET WE DID . WE SERVED HIM by the lusts of the flesh while we were in bondage to sin . FACT . MANY NOW worship another image of god , AND IT AINT GOD , ITS THE DRAGON the ALL INCLUSIVE DRAGON who has created an iamge of god in his own name . THEY WORSHIP HIM and have no idea . FOLKS think its GOD , but no its the SPIRIT of ANTI CHRIST making a totally non compatible image to god . HE ALWAYS wanted to be worshipped as god , so to the many christains he came in under the guise of ANOTHER jesus , another image of god . AND HE has the world merging as one . JOHN we are running out of time . I guess i will say as lott once did , COME get ye OUT of this system , get ye out of these churches , FOR GOD WILL DESTROY this place . Yeah they mocked at lott BUT soon as lott was out , THE WRATH OF GOD did come . ITS COMING JOHN . AND the world and wordly will never see it or even know it was nigh .
