Now to Peter, whose tone in his writings is much different than the
personality traits typically assigned to him by many commentators. But
of course it is fitting that the one whose name means “stone” would
describe us all as living stones comprising a spiritual house. But he
also calls us “a royal priesthood”. Every believer is a priest! There is
no special “clergy”, no earthly intermediary between ourselves and our
Savior. He even repeats this in verse 9 to emphasize the point.
