Who you are in Christ.#23

I am a living stone in Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-6 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
“Behold, I lay in Zion, A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

This is a great word for the followers of Jesus. We are not dead rocks with no hope. We are living stones, being built into a spiritual house for the purpose of offering sacrifices to God through Jesus. Jesus is the head stone! As we follow Him, we will not be put to shame. 

Is your life a living sacrifice for the Lord is mentioned here and taught in scripture?

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

As a stone, we offer ourselves to Jesus, a living sacrifice. Think on that. Time, energy, love, worship, money, God wants it all to be sacrificed to him for his glory and honor. To leads others to himself so they to can be a stone, a living sacrifice.

Our Chief Stone, Jesus, sacrificed all for us, and as his stones he expects us to do the same.

I am a living stone in Christ. How about you?
