BEING BUILT UP AS A SPIRITUAL HOUSE 

1 Peter 2:4–5 

As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but CHOSEN by God and PRECIOUS to him— you also, like LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT UP INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, to be a holy HOLLY PRIESTHOOD, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Here Peter explains that being a ” living stone” correlates the spiritual relationship we share with Jesus who is the Cornerstone. 

Ephesians 2:19-21. – Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

Paul spoke of us being built up in 

Phil 1:6 -“ And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

We are a work in progress. Jesus sees us as a living stone to become a holy priesthood!

Jesus knows our potential; He made us!

Good morning “living stones.”
