唯獨基督(2): 寶貴的房角石與活石

主題經文：4 主乃活石，固然是被人所棄的，卻是被神所揀選、所寶貴的。 5 你們來到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成為靈宮，作聖潔的祭司，藉著耶穌基督奉獻神所悅納的靈祭。 6 因為經上說：看哪，我把所揀選、所寶貴的房角石安放在錫安；信靠祂的人必不至於羞愧。（彼前2:4-6)

背誦經文：…主耶和華如此說：看哪，我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基，是試驗過的石頭，是穩固根基，寶貴的房角石… (賽28:16)

A) 基督是一切屬靈建造的根基

a) 是唯一的根基

· 10 我照神所給我的恩，好像一個聰明的工頭，立好了根基，有別人在上面建造；只是各人要謹慎怎樣在上面建造。 11 因為那已經立好的根基就是耶穌基督，此外沒有人能立別的根基。 (林前3:10-11）

b) 是寶貴的房角石

· 16 …主耶和華如此說：看哪，我在錫安放一塊石頭作為根基，是試驗過的石頭，是穩固根基，寶貴的房角石… (賽28:16)

B) 我們與主同為活石，一同被建造

· 4 主乃活石…5你們來到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成為靈宮，作聖潔的祭司…（彼前2:4-5）

a) 成為靈宮－成為神藉著聖靈居住的所在

19 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是神家裏的人了； 20 並且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石， 21 各( 或譯：全)房靠祂聯絡得合式，漸漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠祂同被建造，成為神藉著聖靈居住的所在。 (弗2:19-22)

b) 作聖潔的祭司－藉著耶穌基督奉獻神所悅納的靈祭 (彼前2：5)

Christ Alone (2): The Precious Corner Stone and Living Stone

(Eph 2:19-22)

Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of glory, the King above all Kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Jesus I sing for all that You’ve done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of glory, the King of glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The king of glory, the King above all Kings

Worthy is the lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
