The Gospel According To Peter

The Gospel According To PeterSeries: 1 PeterPreacher: Jared BlankenshipDate: 22nd February 2026Passage: 1 Peter 2:21-25-------------------The larger point of the text is that believers are to follow Christ in his suffering, and last week we considered Jesus' example of suffering well as a model to follow. But Peter also acknowledges that our suffering is not fully comparable to Christ's. His suffering was unique and atoning, providing the basis for salvation for his people. So, it is good for us to linger a bit longer on this passage to meditate on the unique nature of Christ's suffering as an atonement for our sins and how the benefits of his sacrifice can be applied to each of us. We might even say that this is the gospel according to Peter.
