People can be obstinate, impervious even to the workings of the Holy Spirit. Faithful apostles, prophets & preachers can become martyrs because they earnestly believe in Jesus. But for us, Jesus becomes the martyr - the sacrifice - the cornerstone, so that we may be His people, basking in light, shrouded in mercy. Christ ushers us, His precious, chosen & holy ones, into His eternal realm that we may reside in the heavenly mansion prepared for us by God the Father. (Psalm 30:1–5 & 149:1; Acts 6:1-9, 7:2a, 51-60; 1 Peter 2:2-10; John 14:1-14)
