1 | what does this rock mean? | Matt 16:18 | kalos | 138606 | ||
What does this rock mean? Let Peter himself answer the question. 1 Peter 2:6-8 (ESV) For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." [7] So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," [8] and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. The stone that the builders rejected, He who has become the cornerstone, a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense is surely not Peter. It is Christ. |

2 | what does this rock mean? | Matt 16:18 | Ray | 138657 | ||
Hi Kalos, For 1 Peter 2:6 I have come to have "it" penciled in my personal interpretation instead of "whoever believes in Him". The stone of the verse is the it, that is the word. So I would say "The stone that the builders rejected, that which has become the cornerstone, a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense is surely not Peter, it is the word of God. The word of God that was revealed to Peter was his statement to Jesus, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God". The rock was his statement of faith in the Son of Man. This statement of faith from us also, shows that He is precious to us as believers. From the heart, Ray |
