The Key Word That Sums Up the Book of 1 Peter

The word that sums up the whole book of 1 Peter is exile. Over and over, Peter keeps calling you and I, exiles. We've discovered that when you and I decided to say yes to Jesus and to follow God, we now became citizens of another place called heaven. And because our citizenship is up there, our loyalty to our heavenly reality is to Trump any loyalty to our earthly reality.
