THE CORNERSTONE DIVIDES MANKIND

THE CORNERSTONE DIVIDES MANKIND

April 25, 2021

1 Peter 2:2-8

2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation– 
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 
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.
