Everyone faces questions about identity and purpose: Who are you? Why are you here? Peter answers these by pointing to a living stone. Rejected by men but chosen by God, Jesus is the living stone and the foundation God’s spiritual house. Our identity as living stones and holy priests comes from our connection to Him. In Christ, our lives become a living sacrifice, and those who build on Him find lasting identity and purpose that will last and a hope that will never be put to shame.
