Strangers || Living Stones and Royal Priesthood || 1 Peter 2:1-10

Peter's letter to churches scattered across the known world of the first century speaks to the identity of the recipients of the letter and reminds them that they are a chosen people - chosen by God. Julie looks deeply into the phrases used to identify these early Christians, and by extension, us today. Being called 'living stones', and a 'royal priesthood' isn't something we easily relate to today, but 2000 years ago the context of the ancient world would have made these identities make more sense.
