For Sunday, June 9, 2024:
1 Peter 2:4 NLT: “You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.”
God has us on an incredible journey throughout our life on earth. Those who lived with Jesus knew God’s cornerstone firsthand. Thankfully they documented their experiences and wrote a lot of it down. Since it’s all about Jesus, we call it our Bible, our Holy book, our handbook for life!
Jesus was most certainly rejected by the leadership of his day. The light of the world came to us through the Hebrew people, but most of them didn’t understand who Jesus was or why he came to earth. The Pharisees conspired the crucifixion of Jesus, and the Romans carried out the sentence. It seems as though no one was on Jesus’ side, except God Almighty! In a way, that’s like God approving himself since Jesus-the-Son was in fact God-on-earth!
We have the privilege of worshiping the one who conquered sin and death on the same day. He is now the cornerstone of our lives, the center of our existence! That’s why we worship Jesus today!
See you at church!
