1 Peter 2:4-5 To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,… Christians, you are priests. Be like Christ in this, 1. Wherever you go carry a savour of Christ. Let men take knowledge of you, that you have been with Jesus; let it be plain that you come from within the veil, let the smell of your garments be as a field which the Lord hath blessed. 2. Carry a sound of Christ wherever you go. Not a stop, Christians, without the sound of the gospel bell! Even in smallest things, be spreading the glad sound, Edwards says, wherever a godly person enters, he is a greater blessing than if the greatest monarch were entering. So be it with you. (R. M. McCheyne.) Parallel Verses KJV: To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,WEB: coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious. |
