New Warhorn Media post by Aaron Prelock:
In terms of Christian unity, I think it’s easier to see it as a mosaic instead of a melting-pot. A mosaic has many elements, some very, very different, but together they make up a picture - and in this case, of Jesus Himself. We may not ‘like’ some of the stones in the picture, and one or two of them, we’ll think shouldn’t be there at all, but somehow they all work together.
1 Peter 2:5 sees us as ‘living stones’ making up a building, and it does not seem to me to be asking overmuch of the text, to say that those living stones are being built into a Picture as well.
