1 Peter 2:4-8
주님께 나아오십시오. 그는 사람에게는 버림을 받으셨으나, 하나님께는 택하심을 받은 살아 있는 귀한 돌입니다. 살아 있는 돌과 같은 존재로서 여러분도 집 짓는 데 사용되어 신령한 집이 됩니다. 그래서 여러분은 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 하나님께서 기쁘게 받으실 신령한 제사를 드리는 거룩한 제사장이 되십니다.성경에 이런 말씀이 있습니다. "보아라, 내가 골라낸 귀한 모퉁이 돌 하나를 시온에 둔다. 그를 믿는 사람은 결코 부끄러움을 당하지 않을 것이다." 그러므로 이 돌은 믿는 사람들인 여러분에게는 귀한 것이지만, 믿지 않는 사람들에게는, "집 짓는 자들이 버렸으나, 모퉁이의 머릿돌이 된 돌"이요, 또한 "걸리는 돌과 넘어지게 하는 바위"입니다. 그들이 걸려서 넘어지는 것은 말씀을 순종하지 않기 때문이며, 또한 그렇게 되도록 정해 놓으셨기 때문입니다.As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him-- 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.For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone," and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they were destined for.

"Rejection and disobedience" are what characterizes men in their relationships to Christ. In fact, we only want to get out the sweet and easy things through our relationship with Christ but are not willing to obey and comply with the word of Christ. Relationship can only work if both parties try. However, most of the time, we don't put any efforts in our relationship with Christ, while He always has his arms wide open toward us.
