Building his house


After I Peter 2:4-8
 

The builder is constructing

his house, laid upon

the cornerstone, the foundation

upon which all settles, all

depends, all has meaning,

for without it, nothing lasts,

nothing survives. This house,

because the cornerstone is

living, is constructed with

living stones, stones rejected

and abused and derided

by the world, but placed

upon the foundation,

to build the house of God.
