In 1 Peter 1, Peter reminds us that we are chosen by God—not because we’re better than others, but because we’re called to be a blessing. Through the resurrection of Jesus, we have a living hope that reminds us God isn’t finished yet, even in the broken places of our world. And as people set apart for God, we’re called not to withdraw from the world, but to be fully present in it, noticing where God is already at work and joining him in bringing his love, hope, and belonging into our neighbourhood.
