#soap # 1 Peter 02 ## Title: Know Whose You Are ## Scripture: (1 Peter 2:9) “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (NET) ## Observation: There is a famous movie called Hook. It is a sequel to the iconic classic tale of Peter Pan. In this movie, Peter has lived in the real world so long that, when he returns to Neverland, he doesn’t remember who he is. Most of the movie, they do different things to remind him that he is the famous Peter Pan who leads the way and does not hide in the corner. I remember this particular scene where someone asks Peter, “Why Peter, do you not know who you are?” The Peter-Who-Has-Forgotten-He’s-Peter has no idea, but wants to know if it is him. Today’s passage is like that. We spend so much time in the world, we forget that we are made for something more. Peter reminds us that we are God’s children. This means we are not stuck in the ways of the world and in the sins of the world. We are Heavenly royalty and God’s very own possession. ## Application: Read God’s Word slowly to remember who God says you are. You are His. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us and wanting us.
