The time of Living Stones
Jerry Truex from the Direction Journal tells us that Peter was written to encourage people who were emotionally drained and disoriented by traumatic historical and social events. They were reeling from the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, the dwelling place of God, and they were experiencing alienation and suffering as outsiders of the social and political system. Peter invited his readers to keep coming to Jesus and to allow themselves to be built up into a spiritual temple or household of God, good news for people experiencing homelessness and wondering where God was in all of this.
1st Peter encourages its recipients not to be passive observers of traumatic events or powerless victims of other people’s opinions. Rather, it empowers the readers to choose. They do not need to search for a home; they can choose to be home and family for the homeless. They do not need to wonder where God is in all of this; they can choose to be the place of God’s presence in the world here and now. In this way, they are the people of God.
