(1 P. 2:4‑8)
the head.
 {v.22-23} Israel (the Jews really) rejected Christ as “the Stone” when He was here on earth (His first coming—Acts 4:11), but now they own Him as the Head of the corner, the foundation upon which the church has been built. At last Israel has found that same Stone as their sure foundation. (Book 5. by B. Anstey)
 (vv. 22-24) In the deeply important verses that follow, the psalmist probes the root of all the sorrows that the nation has passed through, and shows the righteous ground of their salvation and blessing. Their long history of trial, when scattered among the nations is traced to their rejection of Christ, while their restoration is brought about by their confession of Christ. The gate of the Lord through which the righteous will pass to blessing (vs. 20), has its full answer in Christ. He alone is the way into all blessing. (Psalms 118 by H. Smith)
 Isaiah prophesied concerning Christ, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation” (Isa. 28:16). The psalmist tells us this stone is refused of the builders. In the New Testament the Lord Himself, (and the Holy Spirit, speaking through the Apostles) applies these words to His own rejection by the leaders of Israel, warning them that it would lead to the judgment of the nation. (Psalms 118 by H. Smith)
 If the rejection of Christ was man’s act, the exaltation of Christ is the Lord’s doing, and the everlasting proof of God’s delight in, and acceptance of, Christ—the ground of all blessing for man, whether Israel, the Church or the nations. (Psalms 118 by H. Smith)
