In the text to the left, Peter, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, refers to Christ as our living Stone and his people as living stones. Christ, the living Stone died so the dead stones (people) could live. Through the Word, he made us alive in Christ as his people, his living stones. Stones are used to build houses. The Lord uses us as his organic stones to build his spiritual house, the church. By grace through faith, we are his holy priesthood daily making acceptable offerings and sacrifices to him. |
