Day 2369 – OUR LIVING HOPE – BECOMING LIVING STONES 1 PETER 2:4-12

Welcome to Day 2369 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2369 – OUR LIVING HOPE – BECOMING LIVING STONES 1 PETER 2:4-12 – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 04/28/2024 Our Living Hope – Becoming Living Stones  1 Peter 2:4-12 Last week, we will investigate the Reasons for Pulling Together as Christians within a church setting and throughout our lives. This week, we will explore how we, as God’s Chosen People, are Becoming Living Stones. Today’s passage is 1 Peter 2:4-12, and I will read it from the NLT because it provides a better flow of Peter's message for us in the 21st century. 4 You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor. 5 And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests.[a] Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. 6 As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,[b] chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”[c] 7 Yes, you who trust him ->recognize the honor God has given him.[d] But for those who reject him, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”[e] 8 And, “He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.”[f] They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them. 9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[
