Light (10)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

1 Peter 2:9-10 ESV

Maybe it's the cumulative effect of all these passages, one after another, but my eyes filled with tears when I read this.

This has been very powerful, Rebecca.

Just wait.... It gets even more powerful, I think. :)

I agree. It's a swelling crescendo, and my anticipation grows because I know (though not specifically) what's coming. Wonderful!
