Manage episode 436150799 series 3030156
The Apostle Peter wrote the letter we call 1 Peter while persecution against Christians was simmering in and around ancient Rome. He wanted his readers to be prepared for hard things to come, and he sought to prepare them by reminding them of their identity as the chosen people of God, living as exiles in a world of suffering.
We continue our series in 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:18-25.
Three Questions:
- When should we suffer under authority?
- How should we suffer under authority?
- Why should we suffer under authority?
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matthew 16:24
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— Galatians 3:13
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
Three Words of Application:
- The way you suffer under authority is a testimony to the world about Christ
- Pray for wisdom
- Seek wisdom
