-(v.13)
Peter starts this section of scripture with a question:
Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
-What is he essentially asking?
Doing the right things usually leads to good, not suffering.
-
-(v.14) Peter then introduces an exception clause: “But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness” Peter then talks about those times that it seems like we suffer more for doing the right things.
It seems as if our life is attracting conflict.
What does Peter tells us about when we suffer for righteousness sake?
“your are blessed”
Why would Peter call us “blessed” when we are being attacked?
-When we suffer for our testimony God our life becomes a HD flatscreen television for the world.
-(v.14) “And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled
Peter mentions two things to “not” to do what are they?
a. Be intimidated
b.
Be Troubled
NKJV But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed.
“And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
troubled-agitate or stir up
-Peter is acknowledging that in this world, their will be people that intentionally trouble(agitate) you because of your testimony.
A lot of times these people will have secular authority over your life.
They have the abilities to make your life hard.
It could be a Spouse, it could be an unsaved parent, it could be your boss at work.
Where did Peter get this teaching from??
a.
His Teacher
What is the key qualifier in this scripture?
and how does this teaching align with Peter’s teaching on Suffering?
-“because of me”
b.
His Teacher’s life experiences
c.
His own life experiences
-(v.15)
Peter says that during these times people will wonder about your faith.
They will wonder about your faith.
They will wonder how you are able to withstand persecution and not (v.9)
“not return evil for evil or insult for insult” Look at what Peter says they will want to know: “give an account for the hope that is in you”
Why will they want to know about your hope?
Answer:Hope for the Christian is not based on chance, but a settled trust that my God has my future in his hands.
-During that time People were used to seeing people fold under the pressure of the Roman Government.
When they wanted something they bribed, forced, or intimidated people to submit.
The Christian was to remain resolute even if it meant losing their life.
They were not to cave in, be bribed, nor quit in the face of extreme adversity.
-And the only thing that could cause this type of behavior is “Hope” of something outside of themselves to cause this type of perseverance.
Peter says we must always be ready to give a defense why would he say this?
Peter
Answer: That word “defense” means to give testimony in front of a tribunal.
And where do we see this at in Peter life??
Acts
What’s different about Peter in this story than when he denied Christ?
Tell me some key points about these scriptures?
-(v.16)
Peter in this text gives us some clues as to what kind of persecution that the Christians are experiences “ostracism” the persecution as not yet reached physical.
They are being talked about and threatened.
-(v.17)
Now we get to see the heart of “God” in this text
What does Peter say is the will of God in this text?
-Answer: That you suffer for doing the what is right.
-Conclusion: We are starting to put the picture together yall
It is God’s will that you:
be saved, be Spirit-Filled, Be sanctified, Be Submission, and you be suffering.
-You are starting to see that God has told us his will in the Word
-Prayer
