As living stones… to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5
If these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40
In Luke 19:37 the disciples could not contain their joy because of what they had seen the Lord do, and they began to praise Him with a loud voice! The Pharisees told the Lord to rebuke them, but the Lord said if they held in what was due, the stones would cry out. We are called living stones, and have opportunity, at this time when He desires and deserves our worship, to let our praises resound to His glory! As living stones let us cry out today! —E. N.
If we should hold our peace, stones would cry out apace;
Praise ye His name! Love does our souls inspire with heav’nly, pure desire.—James Allen
