In the Bible Peter writes:
"As you come to him, 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 to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”and,
has become the cornerstone,”and,
“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”
and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. I Peter 2:4-10
Those who rejected Jesus in biblical days are rejecting Him in today's society. Jesus came for us to have life and more abundantly, yet we still choose satan's way of life over God's. When you are constantly sad, and one little thing sets you off, or your day starts off with a mishap and you blame your mood on that and stay that way all day, then you are living in darkness. There are things in your path that make you stumble and if you are not careful, you will fall~ HARD!
