The Apostle Peter wrote the letter we call 1 Peter while persecution against Christians was simmering in and around ancient Rome. He wanted his readers to be prepared for hard things to come, and he sought to prepare them by reminding them of their identity as the chosen people of God, living as exiles in a world of suffering.
We continue our series in 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:4-8.
Jesus is a living stone.
Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation…” Isaiah 28:16
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”...He was speaking about the temple of his body. John 2:19, 21
Jesus is the cornerstone.
Three Exhortations:
- May Jesus Christ be precious to us, just as he is precious to God.
- May we grow together into the holy temple Christ has made us to be.
- May we be faithful knowing that nothing can thwart God’s plan.
"We all serve God inevitably, but it makes a great difference whether you serve like Judas or serve like John.” - C.S. Lewis
Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission. Salisbury, NC
