THE PRECIOUS STONE Read 1 Peter 2:1-10 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them that believe ... a rock of offense ... (7). In a shallow creek water in North Carolina, USA, has a peculiar stone, laid between among the other stones. Many have seen the stone and stepped through the water to come. Nobody bothered to make it a closer look at it. One day a lumberman see the stone. His picked it up and it was a beautiful stone for a door stop to use. For some time, the stone lays on the floor next to the door. On a day a geologist at the lumbermans hut, ask for water to drinking. While he drinks the water, his eye fell on the stone. He put the cup down in such a hurry that he pours water and not even noticed it. He picked up the stone and looked closely thereafter. Gold! He exclaimed. It later emerged the largest alluvial gold field to be in that part of the country is found. The keen eye of the geologist in the stone a value spotted by everyone else ignored. The Lord Jesus Christ did not give people the same value. Many guileless step past him and stepped on him, even if it is necessary. Others find him suitable and useful as the lumberman a doorstop needed. The Holy Spirit opens ones eyes and mind and heart of Jesus true identity and he is for one precious. Pauls eyes were opened to who Jesus really was, he said: ... Christ Jesus, my Lord, to know, whatever was worth. Because of him, I gave up everything ... so I accepted Christ as the only asset can be obtained (Php.3: 8). We learn the Lord Jesus at a glance really know. As we place in our heart for His Word teaches us all better know him, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ... (Col.3: 16). We tried him with eyes of faith see and interact with him through prayer, to the care of his hand was broken. We want to see him where he is in his glory on the throne at the right hand of the Father, and we praise Him. To that extent the Holy Spirit revealed Himself to us. If we have awakened to the preciousness and greatness of Christ, it is not difficult for him to live and obey and serve. Lord, today I want in my heart is still and the inner eyes of my spirit in You establish your greatness can be.
