There are many things in this small passage that don't seem to make sense to a modern mind. Peter is speaking the gospel into a particular time and place.

We are all priests in exile? What does that mean? God is building a priesthood of believers. A community of redemption. It is only in this priesthood, this community, that we will find the answers to our suffering, our grief, and our pain. We are priests exiled together for the glory of Christ and the life of the world.

When was the last time you felt hope? As we continue asking, "What is my salvation for?", Peter teaches us that it's so we might hope. But knowing the hope of our salvation requires that we understand that we live in exile, because this world is not our home. When we see the hopeless reality of sin in this world, we experience the hope of what God has done in this world through Jesus Christ.

Life can feel like being stuck in exile sometimes. Life is full of loss, grief, and sorrow that makes us long for something more. But Jesus meets his people in exile. Peter begins his letter by addressing the "elect exiles" and begins to unpack how our salvation is a Trinitarian endeavor. He is our God and we are his people! He meets us in our lowest, darkest times and he will be with us in our exile to the very end!
