[8] and,“A STONE OF STUMBLING AND

A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are

disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

1 Peter 2:7-8

All men have an inevitable meeting with the rock.

[9] But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY

NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may

proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness

into His marvelous light;

you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

1 Peter 2:9-10

Whether the world sees it or not, we are those privileged to

go from darkness to light.
