Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:10-12

10-12 Jesus Christ was the main subject of the prophets' studies. Their inquiry into the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow, would lead to a view of the whole gospel, the sum whereof is, That Christ Jesus was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification. God is pleased to answer our necessities rather than our requests. The doctrine of the prophets, and that of the apostles, exactly agree, as coming from the same Spirit of God. The gospel is the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-99

1Pet 1 COMMENCING THEN OUR reading of the Epistle, we find the opening address in verses 1Pe_1:1 and 2. To whom does he write? To “strangers scattered” or “sojourners of the dispersion,” to people who were a standing witness to the fact that the Jew had forfeited his ancient privileges, to folk who had lost all the earthly foothold they ever had, though it was a big foothold as originally granted. Yet the sojourners he addressed were not by any means all the scattered Jews of those provinces,... read more

The revelation concerning God's gift: v. 10. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you; v. 11. searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. v. 12. Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by... read more

1 Peter 1:3-12Analysis:—God is praised for the grace of regeneration and for the hope of the heavenly inheritance, founded thereon. Sufferings should augment and intensify the Christian’s joy, for they serve to prove his faith. The Spirit of Christ had directed the inquiries of the prophets to this end of hope, yea, even the angels were desirous of looking into this salvation3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath4begotten us again... read more

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

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

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
