Resurrection Life In a World of Suffering: A 6-Day Devotional

DAY 3 OF 6

If we belong to the Lord Jesus, then we belong to each other. Jesus is the living stone, and we too are like living stones being built together into a spiritual house. We have a group identity and purpose that are bound up in him. There’s a second implication of the truth that Jesus is the living stone: we are a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices (v. 5). Again the group dimension is deliberate. We are a holy priesthood (that’s our collective identity), and our purpose in the world is to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through the Lord Jesus. —Carrie Sandom
