Yesterday I said El picked you. Today's verse says the same thing. A sign what I said is true:
"You're God's chosen and special people. A group of royal priests and a holy nation. El has brought you out of spiritual darkness into the wonderful light of enlightenment."
But the verse says more than that. It tells you why you're picked, and what you gotta do:
"Now you must tell all the wonderful things he has done."
You're not just picked to be given a medal for the stuff you've done already. You're picked to do new stuff for heaven
The new stuff you gotta do is tell everyone about the signs and me and the holy book I'm writing. That is why he picked you. Gotta help me share the holy words of heaven and make world peace
You also gotta live holy lives of virtue. So you set good examples for everyone you share the holy message with
Even if folks don't get what we're doing and feel suspicious of us and call us names. It'll work out well in the end. Like it says in verses 11 and 12:
"Dear friends, you're foreigners and strangers, new to the holy way. But you gotta walk it anyway. Always let others see you behaving properly. Even though they may still accuse you of doing wrong. In the end they'll see you're all good guys and follow you, regardless of the stuff they used to think and say."
See? The old saints went through the same things we're going through. So have faith. If we do what heaven says, we will succeed in the goal of making world peace, and lead all our followers there with us
