DAILY READINGS: Exodus 33 to 34:3; Psalms 83-84; Acts 20:1-16
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5
Christians are the Bride of Christ. He is the Bridegroom. We are also the Body of Christ. He is the Head. But here Peter calls us living stones in a unique building—the Church. This temple is unseen to the world but precious to the Lord. He is its firm foundation, the Cornerstone who never fails and He will one day become the Head of the corner—the One who completes the marvelous edifice. Are you a stone in this building? —E. MacLelland
The Church’s one foundation, is Jesus Christ her Lord,
She is His new creation, by water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her, to be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her and for her life He died. —S. J. Stone
