What mean these stones?
Josh 4:21 (KJV)
Ye also as lively stones
1 Peter 2:5 (KJV)
There should be something so remarkable, so
peculiar about the live and conversation of a Christian that men should be
compelled to ask, “What does this mean?” . . . . Is there anything in your character,
words, and habits of life so different from the world around you that men are
involuntarily compelled to ask themselves or others, “What does this mean?” Not
that there is to be a forced singularity, a peculiarity for the sake of being
peculiar; that were merely to copy the pharisaism of ancient days. . . . Oh,
that we might realize that this is the purpose for which God sends us into the
world, as He sent His only begotten Son!—S.A. Blackwood
