The Living Stone and a Chosen People!

I envisioned a grayish chicken foot
The Holy Spirit quickened my spirit to search the scriptures:
(1 Peter 2:4-8) NIV
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b]
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”[c]
8 and,
“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”[d]
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
How Jesus became the Chicken Feet of the World

If you're a Westerner, chicken feet go into the rubbish bin.
It's the part of the chicken that no-one eats.
Instead, the chicken breast is the most expensive. Then the thighs, wings and drumsticks. But the feet definitely go in the rubbish bin.
But for the Chinese, chicken feet are a delicacy. Very prized. (But not so the breast - it's too dry!)
According to the Freakonomics episode - Weird Recycling - the Chinese demand for chicken feet props up the chicken industry in the USA. The USA now exports 300,000 tons of chicken feet every year. Chicken feet bring in $40 million for one chicken company alone. Without chicken feet, many USA chicken companies would go broke.
One man's rubbish is another man's treasure.
The Bible similarly describes Jesus as "the stone that the builders rejected". He is the stone that we throw into the rubbish.
But for God, Jesus is so precious that God makes him the "cornerstone" - the foundation - of a whole new way that God will love, judge and save us.
Our rubbish is God's treasure.
(1 Peter 2:4-8)
