Do You Believe That He Is Precious?
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 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, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” (1 Peter 2:6-8)
Today’ Morsel: Do you remember the song that we use to sang entitled, “What do you think about Jesus? And we would shout, He’s alright.” Why did we see Jesus as just being alright and not as Peter saw Him? Precious! Did we think that Jesus was just okay only? Peter said that He is precious and unto us who believe that He is precious, we ought not to be confounded or confused about who He is. For those of us who believe that He is precious, He becomes a spiritual house to which we can build upon. But those who do not see Him as such, He becomes a stumbling block and a rock of offense. For us, He is honorable and highly esteemed before others. Peter relates Jesus to a precious stone or gem. And he says that, if so be that we have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, we also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:3-5). If he is precious to us, then let’s start acting like it when we hear His name.
Sing: For He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive; He's more wonderful than my heart can believe. He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams; He's everything that my soul ever longed for, Everything He's promised and so much more. More than amazing, more than marvelous,; More than miraculous could ever be. He's more than wonderful, that's what Jesus is to me.
Thought For Today: “To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?” (Isaiah 46:5)
