The lectionary readings for Easter 5 are 1 Peter 2.2-10 and John 14.1-14.
In 1 Peter 2, we jump back to before last week's reading (!) in order to line up with discussion about places to abide in John 14. This well-known passage is saturated with OT references, both implicit and explicit, which we need to note.
And it is also full of vivid images—though we have to understand their paradoxical nature to appreciate both their theology and their implications.
