Lesson 2210

(Lesson 2210)(12-27-17) 1 Peter 2:1-10
    “ Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 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. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

   Today’s quote instructs us (The children of God) to study His word with a mind that is not beleagured by old and false doctrines. As devoted believers, we are to open our minds to the understanding that Jesus is the ONLY means by which we can achieve everlasting life.
    To the unlearned, Jesus is a stumbling block or an impedence to the old ways, yet to those of us who believe in Him, He is the means to a glorious eternity with God in Heaven.~
