"Christians had been scattered among gentile nations, and they were suffering persecution for their faith. Peter wrote to remind them that their faith was to remain anchored in Jesus finished work on the cross. They were God’s chosen people, so in spite of what they were facing, they were to live holy lives as a testimony to God’s grace, and they were to proclaim God’s love to the gentiles. God’s message has never changed. We, the Church today, find ourselves surrounded by unbelievers. Like the early Church, we have been chosen and adopted by God into His Royal family, and are also called to let our lights shine and share the Gospel, which is the Power of God. I pray each of us would pray and ask the Lord to make us proclaimers of the Gospel message, sharing His love with those in our community." - Michael d'Abadie
