Often in the synagogue the saying is read: "The stone the builders' rejected has become
the cornerstone". It marveled old Sam how he could be blinded for so many years,
throughout his youth and even on into his sixties. But then came the angry confrontation
with the young woman passing out Christian comic tracts near the diamond exchange in
New York, his home. She boldly challenged him to have the courage to read from the
prophet Isaiah, chapter 53 to be exact. Later, almost out of spite, he read it! As his eyes
came upon the unfamiliar verses he began to suddenly weep as a small child. Such a
"presence" came over him that he laid on the hard floor crying for some time. When he
got up he felt a different man, a new man! In the writings of the prophet he had seen
Yeshua as the Messiah like a lamb slain for all Israel and not the suffering of the nation
as had been taught. Powerfully a surge of revelation moved through his being. He had
been so foolish, so proud and so blind. And he sat later in his easy chair mulling over his
past, his family, his entire life and cried again over all the now glaring string of failures.
Day by day the convictions deepened as he curiously looked for that young person who
had confronted him with the truth, but never found her. Yet she had been used mightily
by God to change the "diamond hard" heart of an old Jewish gemstone cutter.
Eventually Sam discovered other Jews who met regularly together for prayer, worship
and Scripture study. The "stone" so often rejected, had become "marvelous" in his old
eyes.
