Paul uses the term, "living sacrifice" and now Peter describes us as "living stones". Two oxymorons to bring to light deep spiritual meaning. We are the building blocks of the church. Solid yet alive. Firm and secure. With Jesus as our example and the foundational "Stone" on which all of our lives are set.
God is the architect and we are to be cooperating with all He is doing as His "chosen race, royal priesthood, holy nation, personal possessions, and proclaimers of His praise." Our lives are to reflect the realities of all He has done for us.
This is a great challenge. It brings new meaning to being "rock solid"!
