Key Verse: 2:9

Jesus is the living Stone who was rejected by humans but chosen by God. This stone that the builders rejected has become the precious cornerstone. We also, like living stones, are being built into one spiritual house. This is why unity and love for one another is so important. We are not being built for only this world; we are to be a holy, set-apart priesthood for the Lord. Those who put their trust in him will never be put to shame.

Because of this living Stone, we have a royal identity in Christ. We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. We are not ordinary men and women, but God’s very special possession. Although we were once in darkness, because of the shed blood of Jesus and His great love, we now live in His marvelous light. What great mercy and grace He has given! We can now sing of His praises and live our lives to build His kingdom on the earth.

Prayer: Lord, we thank You for what You have done. You called us out of darkness to be Your own people. We love You, Lord. May we live each day as living stones to sing Your praises and establish Your kingdom on the earth.

One Word: A kingdom of priests and holy nation
