Manage episode 428982666 series 3030156
The Apostle Peter wrote the letter we call 1 Peter while persecution against Christians was simmering in and around ancient Rome. He wanted his readers to be prepared for hard things to come, and he sought to prepare them by reminding them of their identity as the chosen people of God, living as exiles in a world of suffering.
We continue our series in 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:9-10.
Three Questions:
- What is my identity?
- How did I get this identity?
- Why did I get this identity?
“And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people’, and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’” Hosea 2:23b
Communion Reflection Questions:
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:27-28
Examine yourself: What sinful thought, word, or deed do you need now to confess to the Lord? What have you done, or left undone, that you need now to confess to Him?
