Rejection: Stones Can’t Know Everything 

Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.... This is a hard saying; who can understand it?... From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

John 6:54, 60, 66 (NKJV)

If, indeed, you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 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.

1 Peter 2:3-5 (NKJV)

Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief Cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes' '?

Matthew 21:42 (NKJV)

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: you’re rock stars! You’re living stones raised on the Foundation of the ultimate Rock Star, Jesus Christ!

Together, you form a new kind of church: a spiritual house without hard walls, denominations, or manmade add-ons.

It's a new and wondrous hierarchy that doesn’t need intermediaries, 'For there is one God, and one Mediator also between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus' (1 Timothy 2:5).

  • It's a church that goes straight to the people, rather than people who go to a church. 

In our King’s earth-time… many disciples, even those who witnessed His miracles, couldn’t fully accept this new structure– and made the worst possible decision.

The result?

They 'Went back and walked with Him no more' (John 6:66). This chapter-verse number of 6:66 happens JUST ONCE in the New Testament.

Could our stubborn religiosity be related to the mark of the beast?

Actors, models, and talent for Christ, stones weren’t created to know everything:

  • Not as chips off the Rock of Jesus Christ,

  • Not as ‘living stones’ under construction…

  • To become a spiritual house,

  • A connected-with-God holy priesthood,

  • Called to go forth as Christ’s ambassadors!

Here’s what you must personally reject: the conceit that you should know everything… because on this side of Heaven you can’t.

Those disciples who abandoned Jesus, because they couldn’t understand His Words (about eating and drinking His Body, which His true disciples WOULD come to know)… Did they face the ultimate rejection:(?

Bottom Line

Revelation takes time. So stay humble. God will give you answers in His timing… if you ask, stay faithful, and read THE WORD!

Rejection: Stones Can’t Know Everything (Part 3)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s not from me. It’s God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings. This series is a rewrite of a prior 2014 series.
