The Salvation Victory of Jesus Christ - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 3:18-22

2009-07-26 by

This passage of Scripture is perhaps the most difficult in the New Testament; and yet, it is also potentially one of the most encouraging. It is about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And we desire to receive the encouragement God has for us through our Apostle; to fully enjoy the salvation and live the victory of Jesus Christ. Our passage is organized around the States of Christ: Christ’s death, resurrection, and victorious proclamation, and Christ’s ascension, session, and victorious salvation.

As we carry out our calling in Christ, we receive greater and greater blessings from God. The Christian community exists as an alternative society in this world.

Christians in Marriage - Daniel Holmquist - 1 Peter 3:1-7

2009-07-05 by

Our Apostle Peter is reworking the household codes according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is simultaneously affirming the structures while also subverting them with both new dignities and the uncompromising worship of Jesus Christ alone. Christians should live married live distinctly for the glory of Christ and the good of society. Both wives and husbands, who have been transformed by the Gospel, are encouraged to live it out at home and before the whole world.
