For this is contained in Scripture: “BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, “THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,” and, “A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed. (1 Peter 2:6-8 NASB)
A ‘CHOICE STONE’, A ‘PRECIOUS CORNER STONE’:
CHOICE: by implication meaning favorite
PRECIOUS: meaning “more honorable, precious in reputation”.
For all who believe in HIM (Jesus) will not be disappointed.
Will not be DISAPPOINTED: Literally “will not be put to shame or disgrace” or be made to blush…
This precious value, then, is for YOU who believe!
As we meditate on HIS words today, let us rejoice in “This Precious Value”!
Lord, Thank You!
