"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
Jesus is not only the Cornerstone of the church; He is also the individual building blocks through every believer. Have you ever heard of someone being a "chip off the old block?" That means he shares the nature of his father. In a sense, every child of God is a chip off that block.
By ourselves.... we are not all that much. How many one-brick buildings have you seen? One stone can be easily tossed around, but if you take a lot of them and put them together, there is strength. Our Lord is building us together to gain strength from one another. It is amazing what can happen when the body of Christ is unified.
Step outside your comfort zone in sacrifice to the work of the Lord. Reach across the lines and bring unity in the body of Christ.
