Proverbs of a 38 yr old man
My friends, God has chosen you to be his holy people. So think about Jesus, the one we call our Apostle and High Priest! Jesus was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in serving all God's people. But Jesus deserves more honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves more honor than the house. Of course, every house is built by someone, and God is really the one who built everything. Moses was a faithful servant and told God's people what would be said in the future. But Christ is the Son in charge of God's people. And we are those people, if we keep on being brave and don't lose hope. Yes, we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. So come to Jesus accepting all that he has done for us. We can have joy and confidence as we look to the future. We must hold on to this belief and not let it go. We can be certain that God will do all that he has promised. We are living stones being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. It is just as God says in the Scriptures, "Look! I am placing in Zion a choice and precious cornerstone. No one who has faith in this one will be disappointed." You are followers of the Lord, and this stone is precious to you. But it isn't precious to those who refuse to follow him. They are the builders who tossed aside the stone that turned out to be the most important one of all. But you are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things he has done. We are God's house.
