Devotional: 1 Peter 2:13-25

Today’s passage: 1 Peter 2:13-25

Helpful thoughts:

  • God has ordained government to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.
  • Christians are free from the bondage of sin and therefore willing and able to serve the Lord, honor and love others and submit to authority.
  • Being punished for a crime, for sin, is not suffering.  Being treated poorly for following Jesus is suffering, and it’s what God has called us to do.

Questions to consider:

  1. For who’s sake should we submit to our authorities?
  2. Since Christ is our example in suffering, how should we respond when the world might try to persecute us?
  3. What does “By His wounds you have been healed” mean in this context?  Is that phrase meant to be applied to physical healing?  From what have we been healed?
