Cornerstone Church of NYC

Vertical Revelation

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 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. 6 For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

Living Stone: This is a paradox. Stones are a dead, inanimate object. Yet that is what apostle Peter refers to Christ and his followers as. We are like a living stone laid side by side, on top or below each other to build a house. Jesus is our CORNERSTONE in which every stone is being laid upon. Side by side and on top of each other, each stone is being laid to build a (spiritual) house, to be a holy priesthood, and to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ!

Insight & Exploration

Numbers 13:18-20   18 and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, 19 and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, 20 and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not.
