1 Peter 2:9-12 - Faith
Title: Earworm
[Verse 1]
Guilty running down the side of the egg
I'm in love with the past, and the things that they said
Guilty running down the side of my head
I get by on the promise of future excess
Guilty running, guilty running
I put my back in waiting for something
[Chorus]
I keep waiting for the shoe to drop
Microplastics in my lemonade
I keep waiting for my friend to call
And forgive me of my bad faith
Guilty running, guilty, I'm running out of time
- Hudson Freeman
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”
(Exodus 19:6&7)
“They all make one family, a sort and species of people distinct from the common world, of another spirit, principle, and practice, which they could never be if they were not chosen in Christ to be such, and sanctified by His Spirit.”
- Matthew Henry
“26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
(1 Corinthians 1:26-31)
“The community that is created by the cross, is not just a warm family or aggregation of people giving one another emotional support. It is an alternate society with different habits, different customs, different loves. It is a foretaste of the heavenly city to come.”
- Timothy Keller
