In 1 Peter 2:4, the Apostle Peter gives us an incredible illustration, reminding us that, "As you come to him [Jesus], the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house . . . ." Have you ever thought about this before, that as followers of Christ, we are being built into a Living Spiritual House where Jesus is the chief cornerstone, the MOST IMPORTANT stone whereby all the other stones are placed. And we are placed by our Savior brick by brick, living stone by living stone, into the Church.
Out of the Lord's great compassion, He places us exactly where He wants us, serving in various ministries within His Church, allowing us to be a part of something way bigger than ourselves. In our study of 1 Peter, we are illustrating this exciting truth by building a "Spiritual House" of our own out of Legos, where each of us placed our chosen Lego piece into a foundation, forming a unique structure to remind us that we are all important to the kingdom. We all make up the body of Christ, and each of us plays a vital role in the kingdom.
