“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.” I Peter 2:5 (NIV) It is hard to picture what a living stone would look like but we are living spiritual stones and God is carving us into perfect pieces of a magnificent spiritual temple of God’s presence. Just as the Garden of Eden was a temple of God’s presence so now the collective of all believers is the new garden of God, the superior temple of God. And we are priests with direct access to God and we offer our hearts and actions to God which God gladly welcomes because we come to God through Jesus. This is our spiritual reality. Whether we feel it or not this is God’s revelation and encouragement for us.
