  but

  you

  are

  the

  ones
• 1:01
  chosen
• 1:02
  by
• 1:02
  God,
• 1:02
  chosen
• 1:03
  for
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  high
• 1:03
  calling
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  priestly
• 1:05
  work,
• 1:06
  chosen
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  be
• 1:06
  a
• 1:07
  holy
• 1:07
  people,
• 1:08
  God's
• 1:08
  instruments
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  do
• 1:09
  his
• 1:09
  work
• 1:10
  and
• 1:10
  speak
• 1:10
  out
• 1:11
  for
• 1:11
  him,
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  tell
• 1:12
  others
• 1:12
  of
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  night
• 1:13
  and
• 1:13
  day
• 1:14
  difference
• 1:14
  he
• 1:15
  made
• 1:15
  for
• 1:15
  you.
• 1:16
  From
• 1:16
  nothing
• 1:17
  to
• 1:17
  something,
• 1:18
  from
• 1:18
  rejected
• 1:19
  to
• 1:19
  to
• 1:20
  accept
• 1:20
  it.
• 1:21
  Friends,
• 1:21
  the
• 1:22
  world
• 1:22
  is
• 1:23
  not
• 1:23
  your
• 1:23
  home,
• 1:24
  so
• 1:24
  don't
• 1:24
  make
• 1:25
  yourselves
• 1:25
  cozy
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  it.
• 1:27
  Don't
• 1:28
  indulge
• 1:28
  your
• 1:28
  ego
• 1:29
  at
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  expense
• 1:29
  of
• 1:30
  your
• 1:30
  soul.
• 1:31
  Live
• 1:31
  an
• 1:32
  exemplary
• 1:33
  life
• 1:33
  in
• 1:33
  your
• 1:33
  neighborhood
• 1:34
  so
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  your
• 1:35
  actions
• 1:36
  will
• 1:36
  refute
• 1:37
  their
• 1:37
  prejudices.
• 1:39
  Then
• 1:39
  they'll
• 1:39
  be
• 1:40
  won
• 1:40
  over
• 1:40
  to
• 1:40
  God's
• 1:41
  side
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  be
• 1:43
  there
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  join
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  the
• 1:44
  celebration
• 1:46
  when
• 1:46
  he
• 1:46
  arrives.
• 1:48
  Really
• 1:48
  a
• 1:49
  delightful
• 1:49
  passage
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  Scripture
• 1:51
  here
• 1:51
  today.
• 1:51
  And
• 1:52
  we're
• 1:52
  going
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  talk
• 1:53
  today
• 1:53
  about
• 1:54
  a
• 1:54
  couple
• 1:54
  points
• 1:55
  to
• 1:55
  ponder
• 1:56
  about.
• 1:56
  Basically
• 1:57
  about
• 1:57
  you
• 1:57
  are,
• 1:58
  you
• 1:59
  know,
• 1:59
  you're
• 1:59
  more
• 1:59
  than
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  think
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  are.
• 2:01
  So
• 2:01
  here's
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  first
• 2:02
  point.
• 2:03
  Number
• 2:04
  one
• 2:04
  point
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  ponder.
• 2:05
  Number
• 2:06
  one
• 2:06
  is
• 2:06
  chosen
• 2:06
  was
• 2:07
  never
• 2:07
  meant
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  be
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  velvet
• 2:09
  rope.
• 2:10
  Now
• 2:11
  sometimes
• 2:11
  Christianity
• 2:12
  kind
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  gets
• 2:12
  this
• 2:12
  whole,
• 2:13
  this
• 2:13
  whole
• 2:13
  thing
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  little
• 2:13
  sideways.
• 2:14
  We
• 2:14
  hear
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  word
• 2:16
  chosen
• 2:17
  people
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  we
• 2:20
  somehow
• 2:20
  think
• 2:21
  insiders
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  outsiders
• 2:23
  or
• 2:23
  us
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  them
• 2:24
  or
• 2:24
  saved
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  unsaved.
• 2:28
  You
• 2:28
  know,
• 2:28
  like
• 2:28
  God
• 2:29
  is
• 2:29
  running
• 2:29
  some
• 2:29
  sort
• 2:29
  of
• 2:30
  exclusive
• 2:30
  country
• 2:31
  club
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  somehow
• 2:32
  we're
• 2:32
  in.
• 2:32
  We
• 2:33
  made
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  list,
• 2:33
  but
• 2:33
  somebody
• 2:34
  else
• 2:34
  didn't.
• 2:36
  I
• 2:37
  just
• 2:37
  don't
• 2:37
  think
• 2:37
  that's
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  case.
• 2:39
  A
• 2:39
  progressive
• 2:39
  view
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  this
• 2:40
  reading
• 2:41
  flips
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  on
• 2:42
  its
• 2:42
  end.
• 2:43
  Let's
• 2:43
  look
• 2:43
  at
• 2:43
  verse
• 2:44
  10.
• 2:45
  It
• 2:45
  says,
• 2:45
  quote,
• 2:46
  once
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  were
• 2:46
  not
• 2:46
  a
• 2:47
  people,
• 2:47
  but
• 2:47
  now
• 2:47
  you
• 2:48
  are
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  people
• 2:48
  of
• 2:48
  God.
• 2:50
  Close
• 2:50
  quote.
• 2:53
  Peter
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  writing
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  folks
• 2:54
  who
• 2:55
  were
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  outsiders,
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  excluded,
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  ones
• 3:01
  no
• 3:01
  one
• 3:01
  picked.
• 3:03
  And
• 3:04
  here
• 3:04
  he's
• 3:04
  Saying,
• 3:04
  hey,
• 3:05
  you
• 3:06
  matter,
• 3:07
  you
• 3:07
  belong.
• 3:09
  You're
• 3:09
  in.
• 3:11
  So
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  word
• 3:11
  chosen
• 3:12
  in
• 3:12
  Scripture
• 3:13
  has
• 3:13
  never
• 3:13
  been
• 3:13
  about
• 3:14
  exclusion.
• 3:15
  It's
• 3:16
  about
• 3:16
  responsibility.
• 3:19
  Chosen
• 3:19
  for
• 3:20
  something.
• 3:20
  To
• 3:21
  love,
• 3:22
  to
• 3:22
  bless,
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  serve,
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  declare
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  goodness
• 3:25
  of
• 3:26
  God.
• 3:27
  It's
• 3:27
  not
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  velvet
• 3:28
  rope.
• 3:28
  It's
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  calling
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  tear
• 3:29
  that
• 3:30
  rope
• 3:30
  down.
• 3:32
  Sometimes
• 3:33
  when
• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  think
• 3:33
  about
• 3:33
  these
• 3:34
  types
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  passages,
• 3:34
  I
• 3:35
  think
• 3:35
  about
• 3:35
  my
• 3:35
  granddaughters.
• 3:36
  And,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  know,
• 3:37
  when
• 3:37
  I'm
• 3:38
  with
• 3:38
  them,
• 3:38
  they
• 3:38
  just
• 3:38
  seem
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  be
• 3:39
  pretty
• 3:39
  darn
• 3:39
  accepting.
• 3:40
  They're
• 3:40
  very
• 3:41
  young
• 3:41
  right
• 3:41
  now.
• 3:42
  They
• 3:43
  like
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  play
• 3:43
  with
• 3:43
  all
• 3:44
  kinds
• 3:44
  of
• 3:44
  kids
• 3:44
  in
• 3:44
  their
• 3:45
  groups
• 3:46
  that
• 3:46
  they're
• 3:46
  part
• 3:46
  of,
• 3:46
  schools
• 3:47
  and
• 3:48
  Girl
• 3:48
  Scouts
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  other
• 3:49
  things
• 3:49
  they're
• 3:49
  a
• 3:50
  part
• 3:50
  of.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:52
  they
• 3:52
  choose
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  be
• 3:54
  inclusionary.
• 3:57
  Same
• 3:57
  thing
• 3:57
  with
• 3:58
  me.
• 3:58
  They
• 3:58
  love
• 3:58
  me
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  I
• 3:59
  love
• 3:59
  them.
• 4:01
  That's
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  kind
• 4:01
  of
• 4:02
  chosen
• 4:03
  ness
• 4:05
  Peter's
• 4:05
  talking
• 4:05
  about.
• 4:07
  A
• 4:07
  love
• 4:07
  specific,
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  it
• 4:08
  spills
• 4:09
  over
• 4:09
  into
• 4:09
  everything
• 4:09
  else.
• 4:11
  A
• 4:12
  point
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  ponder.
• 4:14
  Here's
• 4:14
  point
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  ponder.
• 4:15
  Number
• 4:15
  two.
• 4:16
  Living
• 4:17
  as
• 4:18
  exiles
• 4:19
  means
• 4:20
  living
• 4:20
  differently,
• 4:22
  not
• 4:23
  better
• 4:23
  than.
• 4:25
  Peter
• 4:25
  calls
• 4:26
  his
• 4:26
  readers.
• 4:27
  Interesting
• 4:28
  turn
• 4:28
  of
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  phrase
• 4:29
  here.
• 4:29
  He
• 4:29
  calls
• 4:30
  them
• 4:30
  foreigners
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  exiles.
• 4:32
  Did
• 4:32
  you
• 4:32
  get
• 4:32
  that?
• 4:34
  And
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  love
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  way.
• 4:37
  I
• 4:37
  love
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  framing
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  phrase
• 4:41
  because
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  reminds
• 4:41
  us
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  followers
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  Jesus
• 4:44
  aren't
• 4:45
  supposed
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  be
• 4:45
  comfortable
• 4:47
  with
• 4:47
  every
• 4:47
  value
• 4:48
  of
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  culture
• 4:48
  around

  the

  right

  Not

  the

  Reading

  Being

  good
• 5:35
  lives
• 5:35
  among

  the

  may

  see

  the

  good
• 5:38
  deeds
• 5:38
  and
• 5:38
  glorify
• 5:39
  God.
• 5:40
  Notice
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  Peter
• 5:42
  doesn't
• 5:42
  say,
• 5:42
  argue
• 5:43
  them

  into

  believing.
• 5:45
  He
• 5:45
  doesn't
• 5:45
  say
• 5:46
  shame
• 5:46
  them.
• 5:46
  He

  says,
• 5:47
  live

  a

  life
• 5:47
  so
• 5:48
  full

  so

  mercy,
• 5:51
  so

  full

  love,
• 5:52
  that
• 5:52
  people
• 5:52
  can't

  help
• 5:53
  but
• 5:53
  see
• 5:53
  something

  beautiful.

  You.

  you're

  going

  a

• 6:47
  you

  don't

  about

  it.
• 6:54
  Just

  do

  it.
• 6:56
  Because

  being

  about
