1 Peter 2.7
Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious, but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
Job. Health. Family. Publicity. Money. Position. Power. - Who or what is precious to you? The Apostle Peter says, for us who believe, Jesus is precious. His value to us is immeasurable.
He is the reason we are redeemed and made righteous. He is the reason we have the very nature of God in us and are going to heaven. Mary understood how precious he is, she poured out the bottle of very expensive perfume, worth a years wage on him without any hestitaion. Peter and the apostle gave up their lives for his name. How precious Jesus is! Is Jesus precious to you? Jesus is God in action. He is love in action. He is so precious that our brothers and sisters of past years would endure horrendous trials and persecutions and yet not deny or forsake him. He is more to us than all the gold of this earth.
Friend, He is precious to me because while I was useless to Him, He died and rose again for me. Because of His great love, He is precious to me. When you grow in the knowledge of who Jesus is, you will realise that Jesus is more precious than life itself. Hallelujah. Look at Jesus in the word and as you behold him, the Holy Spirit will reveal to you the preciousness of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. For to us who believe, He is precious!.
