Ephesians 2:20b

“…Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone.”

1 Peter 2:6b  

“…a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

Stones are different in shapes and colors.

Stones can be bright and shiny while others are dull and earthy.

Stones are igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic in origin.

Stones are mostly used for construction projects.

Stones may be used to decorate a garden.

Stones can skim across the water when skillfully thrown.

Stones are durable, attractive, and highly valued.

In the Bible, we learn that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone which holds the whole building together.   God put this chosen stone, the precious cornerstone in place so that we who believe in Jesus may be built up together into a dwelling place, a spiritual house for God by the Spirit.

So, shine little stone.  You are durable, attractive, and highly valued by God.

1 Peter 2:5

“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.”
