” You are coming to Christ, who is the cornerstone of God’s temple.” 1 Peter 2:4
“ And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. 1 Peter 2:5
The definition of a cornerstone is a stone that forms the base of a corner, joining two walls. In 1 Peter 2:4-5 Jesus is described as the cornerstone of God’s spiritual temple. It is the strongest piece of his temple. It is Jesus that you and I are to be dependent upon. We are to worship him, trust him, have unconditional faith in him, and allow him to function in our lives. Our God in heaven has used his son, Jesus, as this vital piece that makes his spiritual temple strong. Jesus gave his life so that you and I can also be a part of God’s temple. As we build our faith and trust we become strong pieces that God adds to his spiritual structure. We are described as living stones that God is building into his temple. You and I are living and breathing parts of the spiritual temple of our God in heaven. We are to live lives that represent our status as a part of Jesus. He loves us and we are to love him. He has shown the strength of his love by dying for us and now we are to show our love, trust and faith in him. Jesus is the cornerstone, and we are the living stones that are to be added. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
