1 Peter 2:4. Disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Christ always was disallowed of men, and he always will be, until the great consummation of all things. Some disown him in one way, some in another. Some boldly blaspheme him with something like honesty; others pretend to be his ministers, yet all the while are undermining the gospel which he lived and died to preach. It matters little that Christ is "disallowed indeed of men," for he is "chosen of God, and precious."
