1Peter 2:4-5 “As you come to Him, the living Stone- rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him-you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ:”
Lord, what spiritual sacrifices have I offered You lately? Tall I have offered is the sacrifice of praise, service, and unconditional love for others. That does not seem like much.
1 Peter 2:6 “For in scripture it says:
‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.’ (Isaiah 28:16)”
Lord, so long before Your birth the Father caused Isaiah to write about You, and yet so many of Your chosen people, the Jews, rejected You and Your message. How sad it is that the very ones who held the prophecy and considered it holy, missed You altogether.
I almost missed You too, even though I had been brought up in church. Lord, Satan is such a deceiver and has so many counterfeits and creates such a ruse for the unbeliever who wants to be religious. He gives them so many choices and hopes that they will not choose that narrow road. I praise and thank You that the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the true entrance to that road.
Lord, You are the precious cornerstone and all Christians since You were here have been living stones built into a spiritual house; and since anyone who believes and trusts in You starts living their eternal life, that house must be huge by bow. However; it is not as massive as it could be if everyone who heard the Gospel would have believed. How wonderful and yet how sad as well.
