My Identity and My purpose

John speaks on my identity and my purpose and starts by reading from two scriptures : 1 Peter 1: 1-5 and 1 Peter 2 : 4 - 12. John gives some background concerning Peter and the fact that he was an ordinary person but did Jesus make a mistake in choosing Peter? No, Jesus was fully aware of his weakness and failings, as He is of our weaknesses and failings. However, after Pentecost Peter lives a different life in the presence and power of the Holy spirit. John goes on to expound on the scriptures and to also lead people in a prayer of repentance.
