SKETCHES FROM WHEREVER

i was reading in 1st peter today about being a living stone and i was wondering why peter would say that. aside from the obvious correlations with the word 'stone', the word 'living' in particular stuck out to me. i have a pretty cool saltwater aquarium at my house with some colorful rock pieces. well when i purchased the rock when i was setting up the tank i had the option of buying more expensive rock known as "live rock". the reason it was called that was not because the rock itself was alive but because what was in the rock was alive. so my tie in is that it's only by Christ living in us that we can become living stones. he came that we might have life and have it abundantly.
