Entering the gates to give thanks, celebrating the Lord’s saving work, and rejoicing that the rejected stone has become the cornerstone.

How does Psalm 118 point to Jesus Christ?

Verses 22–23 are fulfilled in Christ as the Cornerstone (Matt 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:7). What man rejected, God exalted.

What does “This is the day the LORD has made” (v. 24) mean?

It celebrates the day of God’s saving action and vindication, calling God’s people to rejoice in what He has done.

What does “Hosanna” in verse 25 signify?

“Hosanna” means “Save us, we pray.” It is echoed at Jesus’ triumphal entry (John 12:13) and expresses urgent dependence on the Lord.

How should Christians apply this passage today?

Trust Christ as the Cornerstone, enter His presence with thanksgiving, and rejoice in His steadfast love that endures forever.

In Part 2 of Psalm 118 (vv. 19–29), we move from personal testimony to a public procession of praise.
We enter the gates of worship, behold the rejected stone now exalted, and rejoice in the name of the Lord.
This episode highlights Christ as the Cornerstone, the Lord’s marvelous saving work, and our enduring call
to give thanks for His steadfast love.
