Get the app1 Peter: Is All of This Worth It?Sample
This letter was written by “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.” And who exactly was Peter? The gospel accounts tell us that Simon was his given name and Andrew was his brother. They were fishermen living near the sea of Galilea invited to become two of the first disciples of a rabbi named Jesus. Jesus gave him a nickname and “Peter” went on to become the spokesman of the twelve disciples. He both asked a lot of questions and was often the first to answer questions that Jesus asked. If Paul was more of a theologian, Peter was more of an “everyman.” Paul declared, “I was a Pharisee of the Pharisees…” Peter was more like, “I know the difference between carp and tilapia.” But Peter’s letter is a power-packed testimony to the transforming work of Christ in a life.
ASK:
-Peter identifies himself at the beginning of his letter with the term “apostle.” How do you identify yourself? What is your email signature, your social media bio, etc.?
TAKE A NEXT STEP:
Write down this phrase and practice it out loud: “(your name), follower of Jesus Christ.” What does this mean to you?
About this Plan
In many areas of today’s world it is not easy being a Christian. We need to ask, is it worth being identified as a follower of Christ? If so, how should we live in a world that rejects us? The early church was asking these questions, too. They were the target of jokes, rumors, discrimination and persecution. God answered and encouraged them through 1 Peter, as He will for us!
