“We See Jesus” | 1 Peter 3 Vs 18-22
In this sermon, we look at one of the more difficult but deeply rich passages in 1 Peter. Peter points suffering Christians to Jesus, reminding us that suffering is not defeat when we belong to the risen and reigning Christ. Through 1 Peter 3 Vs 18-22, we see the Suffering Christ, the Speaking Christ, the Saving Christ, and the Sovereign Christ. Jesus suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God. He speaks through His Word, saves His people through judgment, and now reigns at the right hand of God with all powers subject to Him. This passage also helps us think carefully about baptism, communion, faithful witness, God’s patience, and the hope we have when life is hard.
