Here we have Peter, writing to a number of exiles, spread across a region. Imagine all these exiles have going through their minds, everything they have going on in their lives... and the most important thing that Peter can remind them of is that they are the elect who have been sprinkled with the blood of Christ. May the grace and peace of God fill them.
In the same way, we as a country have a lot going on, and the people are very divided. There will be countless emotions as America goes to the polls today. People will be searching for their true identity. In these times, may we remember that above all else, we have been sprinkled with the blood of Christ, claimed in the waters of baptism, and before anything else in the world, we belong to Christ.
