Set your hope

In 1 Peter 1:13 we reach the first command, the first imperative in this epistle. Some preaching definitely needs a bit more application, but some preaching keeps loading people with things to do when the passage is all about what God has done!

Since verse 3 Peter has been praising the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has told us of our hope—the promise of resurrection and an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

He has told us this hope is certain, for we are shielded by God’s power. He has told us that this hope is only deepened through suffering.
