Peter begins his first epistle addressed to the pilgrims or strangers. These theme runs throughout the epistle. The early Christians were facing persecution on multiple fronts and it was about to get worse. They were suffering and more suffering was coming, but they were to always remember that they were strangers. A stranger’s life is different from those around them. How were they to live the life of a stranger? What is the message that things brings us today? Are we still strangers? When will we reach our true home? How are we to live the life a stranger today?
