Living Stones

Our Senior Pastor retired today. During his last service God whispered into my heart and said that Pastor Les Henaway is a “living stone.“

1 Peter 2:4-5 (NIV)
4 As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him-- 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Many are like stones thrown on the streets by an earthquake - Lifeless, broken remnants of what once had a great destiny. Les on the other hand is filled with life, the life of Jesus. Life pours out of him, touching and changing others. Les has found his place in the presence of God. He is a living stone built into a spiritual house – God’s house.

Ask yourself this question: Am I a living stone being set in God’s house, or am I a bit of lifeless rubble left on the street? If it is the later, ”Come to Him, that is to Jesus. He is the Living Stone. The one who can put life into your rock hard heart.”
