In 1 Peter 2:4-10, Peter describes the calling of all Christians. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven proclaims the anointing in the Old Testament; the anointing of Jesus Christ, the Anointed of God; the anointing of believers; and the task for Christ’s Christians. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
