Devotionals
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6-7, "(6) Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. (KJV)"
Throughout each of our lives, we all have cherished someone precious to us. Some of the precious people in your life may have been your mother, father, spouse, and children. The feelings in our heart have been captivated by the special bond or beautiful memories we share or have shared with our loved ones. However, 1 Peter 2:6-7 states that Jesus is precious. Also, the most wonderful thing about Jesus being precious; He wants to be the "Main Cornerstone" in our hearts. The Lord wants our lives completely filled with His special gift of love and grace. He wants us to bond eternally with Him and Him alone. Therefore, 1 Peter 2:6-7 states; "(6) Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner."
Jesus was rejected by His fellow man as worthless. But, He has been chosen for great honor by God the Father as a valuable Stone. Jesus became the "Chief Stone" for our sins. But, now Jesus is the "Living Stone", since He was raised from the grave in victory. Anyone trusting in Jesus will never suffer confusion or be disgraced by Him. Jesus is the Eternal and Precious Cornerstone for all Ages. You have a special purpose for God's Kingdom. Walk in your calling! Boldly sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to a dying world that needs to hear…God loves them.
Prayer: Dear Lord, words will never express just how precious you are to me. In your Holy Name, Amen!
