Scripture: I Peter 1:10-16

10 ¶ the prophets who told us this was coming asked a lot of questions about this gift of life God was preparing.
11 The Messiah’s Spirit let them in on some of it—that the Messiah would experience suffering, followed by glory. They clamored to know who and when.
12 All they were told was that they were serving you, you who by orders from heaven have now heard for yourselves—through the Holy Spirit—the Message of those prophecies fulfilled. Do you realize how fortunate you are? Angels would have given anything to be in on this!
13 ¶ so roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives.
14 Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better than; you do now.
15 As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness.
16 God said, "I am holy; you be holy."
