Week 13: Named and Shamed
It is no accident that, after sketching what the messianic community is to look like and declaring that all power and glory belong to Jesus, Peter returns to the conflict between this community and the world around it. In Peter’s time there was no glory in being called a Christian, so he offers certain behaviors of courageous resistance to the norm — rejoicing, glorifying, entrusting, and continuing in well doing. Come and explore 1 Peter 4:12-19 with us.
