1 Peter 2:6-8 show us WHY there is such a vicious attack taking place on Chrisitanity in our times!
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded. 7 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, 8 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. KJV
God sent Jesus, and THEY have rejected HIM! It is NOT a rejection of people, but of God! This is NOT taking God by surprise and HE will show us what WE are to do about it! Verses 9-10 describe US!
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light:10 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. KJV
God has chosen YOU, from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), to be a Living Epistle (2 Corinthians 3:2), NOW, in THIS time! There is nothing that can happen that you and I are not abundantly equipped and anointed to handle! ALL will be for the Glory of God, and for the purpose of bringing the Light of Life into the darkness of the world! Amen! You CAN do it, so GO FOR IT! Here is Chris Tomlin with "Chosen Generation":
Shalom in Him!
