The Distinct Community

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9-12, Exodus 19:3-6

Throughout the story of Scripture, God's people are called, not to separate from the world, but to live as a distinct community in the midst of the world. This is key to our role as the representatives of God here on Earth. The call to distinctness began with the people of Israel after their Exodus from Egypt and has continued in the life of Jesus' Church. We are called to live different so that when people look at us, they see Jesus and His Kingdom.
