We Are Sojourners

In the moment we chose to follow Jesus, we became sojourners in this world.  A sojourner is one who chooses to live in a place where they don't belong.   1 Peter was written to Christians who chose not to conform to their surroundings.  It was written to help Jesus followers (like us) learn to sojourn well.
