From the earliest carvings and painted walls to the glowing screens of today, messages put on display have always sought attention. In a similar way, our lives are meant to communicate something far greater: the reality of Christ. Every choice, every word, every act of kindness or neglect speaks volumes to a watching world. The question is not whether we are sending a message, but what that message reveals about Him.

Peter urges believers to cast off the old life—envy, deceit, hypocrisy, and slander—and to crave the pure, sustaining nourishment of God’s Word. Like infants longing for milk, we are called to desire truth that shapes, strengthens, and grows us in grace. As we feed on Scripture, we are formed into “living stones,” becoming part of a spiritual house where God dwells. We are not merely components of this structure; we are His temple, His priesthood, His chosen people, empowered to proclaim His excellence in every corner of life.

Christ stands as the cornerstone, the unshakable foundation of faith. Though the world may reject Him, His value is immeasurable to those who believe. Our lives should radiate that worth, reflecting His mercy, declaring His goodness, and illuminating the darkness with His light. Let your life serve as a living billboard, not with hollow slogans, but through the tangible, visible reality of His love. How might your daily choices more clearly display the beauty and power of Christ to those around you?
