2. Like babies that were just born, you should long for the pure milk of God's word. It will help you grow up as believers.
3. You can do it now that you have tasted how good the Lord is.
4. Christ is the living Stone. People did not accept him. But God chose him. God places the highest value on him.
5. You also are like living stones. As you come to him you are being built into a house for worship. There you will be holy priests. You will offer spiritual sacrifices. God will accept them because of what Jesus Christ has done.
