1 Peter 2:4-5: As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus' life was marked by rejection. He was rejected by his siblings, he was rejected by his home town of Nazareth, he was rejected by his own people, Israel. But he was not rejected by God! For Jesus was the one whom the Father had chosen to fulfill the mission of reconciling sinful humanity to himself. It is because of what Jesus did for us that we are able to offer up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God. Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross changed everything for us! Praise Him!
