1 Peter 2:4-14
If you've ever flown on an airplane, you're familiar w/ the mandatory announcements - sometimes you'll hear some funny comments - like these actual comments:
- Welcome aboard Southwest flight 245. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. If you don't know how to operate one, you really shouldn't be out in public unsupervised.
- Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry - unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!
- In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling w/ you, secure your mask before assisting w/ theirs. If you are traveling w/ more than one small child... pick your favorite.
- (After a hard landing) ''Ladies/gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Remain in your seats w/ your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our plane to the gate!''
- ''We'd like to thank you for flying w/ us today. The next time you get the insane urge to blast thru the skies in a pressurized tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways.''
- In the event of an emergency water landing, your seat bottom can be used for a flotation device. In such an event, please paddle to shore and feel free to keep the seat bottom w/ our compliments.''
After hearing these statements it is interesting that an American Airlines pilot was fired b/c he asked the Christians on the plane to identify themselves so anyone interested in talking to them could do so. Some passengers were offended and he lost his job.
Why do people get upset over the mention of the name Jesus or Christian? The reason is found in our text today. Peter explains that for some people Jesus is a stepping stone and to others He is a stumbling stone.
