Witness at Work #3 | 1 Peter 2:21-25 | Pastor Tom Drion

This episode reflects on 1 Peter 2:18–25 through the story of a persecuted slave girl whose response to suffering raises a searching question: why would a Christian pray for the salvation of those who cause them harm?The teaching centres on “extreme submission” — a life shaped by the example of Christ, who suffered unjustly, did not retaliate, and entrusted himself to God who judges justly. Drawing on the cross, the speaker outlines Christ’s innocence, his suffering, his refusal to answer abuse, his trust in God’s justice, and his purpose in bearing sin to bring salvation.This passage calls believers to see suffering not merely as something to escape, but as part of their calling in following Christ. It frames endurance as a witness, even toward those who oppose or mistreat them, grounded in the certainty of God’s coming justice and the saving work of Jesus.
