God told Moses that he would make the Hebrew people “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Hundreds of years later Pastor Peter told the church: “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9).

The statements sound similar because they belong to the same stream of thought that began with God’s chosen people in the Old Testament and culminated with God’s chosen people in the New Covenant.

God has been at work in this world a long time. Every generation has heard his voice and felt his presence in some way. Discovering God’s work in the lives of your parents and grandparents will help you know what God is up to in your life. In the same way, knowing what God was doing with those ancient Hebrews helps us understand our calling to be his people today.
