Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Peter 1:10-12

1 Peter CHRIST AND HIS CROSS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE 1Pe_1:10-12 I have detached these three clauses from their surroundings, not because I desire to treat them fragmentarily, but because we thereby throw into stronger relief the writer’s purpose to bring out the identity of the Old and the New Revelation, the fact that Christ and His sufferings are the centre of the world’s history, to which all that went before points, from which all that follows after flows; and that not only thus... read more

1 Peter HOPE PERFECTLY 1Pe_1:13 . Christianity has transformed hope, and given it a new importance, by opening to it a new world to move in, and supplying to it new guarantees to rest on. There is something very remarkable in the prominence given to hope in the New Testament, and in the power ascribed to it to order a noble life. Paul goes so far as to say that we are saved by it. To a Christian it is no longer a pleasant dream, which may be all an illusion, indulgence in which is pretty... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-12

Our Imperishable Inheritance 1 Peter 1:1-12 Scattered strangers ! The designation is true of us all. Note the reference to the Trinity involved in the opening sentence. Our inheritance is prepared and kept for us, as we for it. We who believe may count on the guarding power of God. Not till our spirit is joined to a perfected body in the presence of Christ will our salvation be complete. Trial is manifold. There is more or less of it in every true life. The best diamonds take longer in... read more

Redeemed and Purified 1 Peter 1:13-25 The appeal for a holy life is enforced by considering the great cost of our redemption and the great hope which is opened before us. Ours must be the girded loins, lest our desires trail after forbidden things, or be sullied by the mud on the road. We must be holy, as God is: and this can be realized only when we allow God, by His Holy Spirit, to pour Himself into our natures. There is no fear like that which love begets. We do not fear God with the fear... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Like the letter of James, the purpose of this was to establish those who were passing through a period of suffering and testing. In his introduction the apostle used the name Jesus had given him, "Peter." He described those to whom he wrote as "elect . . . according to the foreknowledge of God," and "in sanctification of the Spirit." He approached the subject of the testing of their faith by reminding them of the heavenly nature of their vocation. The final issue thereof is an inheritance, all... read more

Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory 1 Peter 1:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As Peter opens his First Epistle he speaks of the strangers scattered throughout certain countries, then he goes on to tell us some things about these strangers, who, and what they are. By way of introduction to the study of this Epistle, let us consider these strangers scattered abroad. 1. The fact that they are strangers. Believers are not strangers to God, neither should they be strangers one to another. However, they are... read more

Strengthening the Brethren 1 Peter 1:10-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction we wish to emphasize the concluding message of our last sermon. 1 Peter 1:7 tells us of the trial of faith. It is described as being much more precious than the gold that perisheth, even though it be tried by fire, even though for a while we may be in heaviness through many temptations and testings. We may rejoice in the midst of trials, because they will be found unto praise, and honor, and glory at the... read more

The Book of Books 1 Peter 1:10-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is said on one occasion, when Sir Walter Scott was sick, he called his son requesting him to bring him the book. His son said, "Your library is filled with books. Which book do you want?" He is said to have replied, "My son, there is but one Book, bring me the Book." From the above story we have taken our theme: The Book of books. The Bible contains everything needed in the way of spiritual instruction. It proclaims prophecies, which... read more

LIGHT FROM DARKNESS‘Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister.’ 1 Peter 1:12 Those holy men of old, who spake as moved by the Holy Ghost, were sometimes in darkness as to the things they uttered. They understood them only in part, even when they spoke most freely of the grace that should come. So these inspired men walked in the darkness—with angels desiring, but not seeing, the glorious things of the kingdom yet to come. They were as yet in the... read more

COMING GRACE‘Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end [perfectly marg.] for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.’ 1 Peter 1:13 There is to be a revelation of Jesus Christ. He is to appear, to be unveiled, to manifest Himself. He appeared once at His Incarnation to seek and to save that which was lost, God manifest in the flesh; but He appeared only for a time. Finishing the work of redemption, He went back to where He was... read more
