Rev. Rick Jones, chaplain and vice-president of spiritual life at the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch in Minot, ND, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Peter 2:1-10. The life of the Christian flees from all lies and evil and toward the truth of God’s Word. He has given us new birth into His kingdom through His Word. As a mother’s milk sustains her newborn infants, God’s Word nourishes and strengthens us. Our Lord has shown us that He is good, for though He was rejected by men, God chose Him as the cornerstone for His Church. We are built together as living stones in Him to be His temple and holy priesthood. Echoes of Peter’s life and confession come through as he writes concerning Christ and the Church in this way. He quotes freely from Isaiah and the Psalms concerning Christ crucified and risen as the foundation for our faith and a stumbling block for those who do not believe. Because of what Christ has done, Christians now are God’s chosen people. He has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light
