Read Acts 4-6
Acts 4:11 says, "This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner." Jesus created such a stir when He was on earth that it’s hard to see how this verse applies to Him. People loved Him, people hated Him, and wherever He went, people heard about it and came to Him.
But we’re fickle, we human beings. No matter what Jesus did, people kept demanding a sign from Him. When He didn’t bring in another earthly kingdom, like they were expecting, they disregarded Him. They figured a heavenly kingdom, a change of people in their hearts rather than tangible changes in their circumstances was no big deal.
But changes on the inside are what most affect the world. Changes in our attitudes, in our beliefs, in our souls cause changes in our behavior. Those differences we can’t see and are likely to ignore produce life-altering results.
