Shade Tree Wisdom 7/9/15

          This s what the Lord calls His people.

“But you are  chosen generation,

A royal priesthood,

A holy nation.

His own special people,

That you may proclaim

The praises of Him

Who called you out of

Darkness,

Into His marvelous light.”

1 Peter 2, 9.10

          Out of darkness” What is this?  Peter is talking about the darkness of sin in which we are live by birth.

          It was not our doing. Christ did it by dying on the cross for us.

          And for what?  Why, to live “honorable lives” and so “glorify God” by our behavior and our example.

          So there is St. Peter’s guideline. Be sure to follow it in order to “glorify God” by the example we live fir our neighbors.
