Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:3-12

The Great Privilege and Blessing That Is Theirs As God’s Elect Which Even Angels Desire To Look Into (1 Peter 1:3-12 ). The result of God’s foreknowing of us, and of the sanctifying work of the Spirit is now made clear as Peter expands on the activity of God. He is emphasising that God Himself works on us and within us through ‘sanctification in the Spirit’, and gives praise to God for it. This will then be followed in 1 Peter 1:13-16 with the expansion of ‘unto obedience, and in 17-20 with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:10

‘Concerning which salvation the prophets searched intently and enquired diligently, who prophesied of the grace that (should come) to you.’ This salvation which is on offer is not something newfangled. It is the salvation of which the Old Testament prophets spoke in the past, and which they had put a great deal of effort into understanding. And it is they whose eyes were opened, and who prophesied of this wondrous gracious activity of God which we in the church, both ex-Jews and ex-Gentiles,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:10-12

This Salvation Is What The Prophets Saw Before Its Time As They Prepared The Way For His Coming (1 Peter 1:10-12 ). Peter now stresses that what the prophets saw ahead in previous centuries was pointing to what we are experiencing. The ‘church age’, in which believing Gentiles are incorporated into Christ as the new Israel, is the fulfilment of the expectancy of the prophets, and the implication is that we need look no wider for the significance of their message. It is in the new Israel which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:11-12

‘Searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point to, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of (or ‘unto’) Christ, and the glories that should follow them. To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.’ For the prophets had within them... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:3-12

1 Peter 1:3-2 Kings : . The section contains a deep and rich thanksgiving to God for the certainty of an eternal fellowship with Christ. This no sufferings can mar, nor death itself break. He is the unseen Friend, and since they know Him by the power of faith, they have a richer inheritance than the prophets, and in their joy is a note that is wanting even in the song of angels. 1 Peter 1:7 . revelation: lit. apocalypse. Thus was every manifestation of Christ regarded. He is always present,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:10

Of which salvation; either: 1. The more full and clear manifestation of salvation promised to be at the coming of Christ, when life and immortality should be brought to light through the gospel, 2 Timothy 1:10; and then this place is parallel to Luke 10:24; or: 2. The salvation of the dispersed Jews, i.e. their public conversion by the gospel, and eternal life following upon it; which (as well as the calling of the Gentiles) was reserved for the times and glory of the Messiah. The prophets;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 1:11

Searching what? Whether near or farther off, or what particular part of time. This may relate particularly to Daniel’s weeks, Daniel 9:1-27. What manner of time; whether peaceable or troublesome, when the people were free or when in bondage; what were the qualities of the time, or signs by which it might be known, Jacob foretells Christ’s coming, when the sceptre was departed from Judah, Genesis 49:10; Isaiah, in a time of universal peace, Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 11:6. This diligent inquiring after... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 1:3-12

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 1:3. Blessed be.—A characteristic Jewish recognition of God’s mercy. Compare with 2 Corinthians 1:3; Ephesians 1:3. Abundant.—πολὺ, much. Begotten us.—The choice of the nation is thought of as its first Divine birth; the call into gospel privileges is thought of as a new and second Divine birth (see John 3:5; Titus 3:5; James 1:18). Lively hope.—Living hope. “A life in which hope is the energising principle” (Alford). Macknight’s note is suggestive:... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:10

1 Peter 1:10 I. The prophets are an example to us in the study of salvation (1) in the intention of their study; (2) in the subject of their study; (3) in the noble spirit of resignation they evinced in presence of intellectual difficulties which they were not able to surmount. II. The Apostles are examples to us in the proclamation of the Gospel (1) in subject matter; (2) in manner of preaching; (3) in the power which accompanied their preaching. III. The angels are examples to us in the... read more

1 Peter 1:11 The Suffering which Fruits in Glory. I. The sufferings of Christ. From what source did they spring? What was their deepest and most essential characteristic? There will be many answers. (1) They were vicarious; (2) they were extreme; (3) they were unmerited; (4) they were according to the will of God. II. The glory that should follow. Language and imagination alike stagger in the Apocalypse under the revelation. It is called the glory of the Father, the glory at which the Father... read more
