Reseña del libro "Living Stones Family Devotional: A 40 Day Journey for Your Family to Become the Living Stones of 1 Peter 2:4 through some of the Most Popular Stories (en Inglés)"
Many times in scripture God uses things in the natural to describe things in the spiritual. God sees everything in the "seen" world with an "unseen" perspective; not from the narrow view finder of this world, but from lenses so vast, so deep, and so wide that our minds can hardly comprehend it. In order to teach us and give us understanding of a world we cannot see, the kingdom of heaven, God in His word often times uses metaphors and natural illustrations to give us a picture, or reflection, of what His kingdom is truly all about; He uses things in the "seen" world as a mirror that reflects things about the "unseen" world. One of those such times in scripture is found in 1 Peter 2:4 as God calls us to become as living stones, "Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." Through a detailed word study, both in the Old and New Testament, of how God chooses to use stones in the "seen" world, a picture begins to form that reveals who we are in the "unseen" world, God's kingdom. I invite your family to come along with me as the Holy Spirit, through the word of God, paints a beautiful picture on the canvas of your hearts revealing who you are as to living stones, and through family worship seals this calling deep within each member of your family.
