Precious and Rejected part 2 (1 Peter 2:4-8)
Bob Schultz, December 10, 2023Part of the I Peter series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This will be our second message on this section as we develop the thesis, spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:4–8 (Listen)
4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
8 and
“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
