“We are Ransomed”
The imagery of exile is used to help the readers of this letter (Second Reading: 1 Peter 1:17-23) understand that they are strangers in a strange land. Christians no longer belong to this age. Through the death of Christ we belong to God, so that our focus, faith, and hope are no longer on such things as silver or gold.
