ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

1 Peter 2

Alright kiddo, let's talk about 1 Peter chapter 2.

In this chapter, Peter is writing a letter to some people who follow Jesus. He wants to encourage them and remind them about a few things.

First, he talks about how important it is for us to be good, kind, and loving to each other. Just like a baby needs milk to grow, we need to be kind and loving to grow closer to God.

Peter also reminds us that Jesus was like a special stone. He was chosen by God to be the cornerstone, which means he was the very first and most important stone in a big building. Without that cornerstone, the building would fall apart.

And just like that building, we need Jesus as our cornerstone. He is the foundation of our faith and we can't live without him.

Peter then talks about how we all have different jobs to do in the church. Some people are like special priests who help others get closer to God. Other people are like workers who help build up the church.

No matter what our role is, we are all important and needed in the church. And God wants us all to work together and love each other like a big family.

So there you have it, kiddo. 1 Peter chapter 2 is all about being kind to each other, relying on Jesus as our foundation, and working together as a big family in the church.
