Day 1.2: Cornerstone

Themes rarely come up during my personal retreats. But "Cornerstone" seems like the word to focus on for this season.

As I began to read up more, I realised that the theme is not just about Christ being the chief cornerstone chosen by God to be the foundation of His temple. It is how every single one of us, individually, coming as living stones to build the church.

And this seems to be the anchor passage:

" So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation - if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 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." 

1 Peter 2:1-5
