1 Peter 2:9-10

⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Reflection:

God brought us out from darkness into His wonderful light, showed us His mercy and called us to be His people. We are God’s people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.  We have been brought in, to do His will, to declare His praises and to tell others of God’s love, mercy and forgiveness.  We have been called to build and expand God’s Kingdom.

Response:

Let’s pray for our churches, missional groups and campus ministries – that we would be His Kingdom builders, declaring who God is, bringing Him much glory.
