150. Christ’s Death, Blood, and Suffering

In 1 Peter

1. “Sanctification… unto obedience and the sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ” (1Pe_1:2).

2. Revelation in the Scriptures of Christ’s sufferings and glory—1Pe_1:10-12.

3. Redemption from an empty manner of life by “the precious Blood of Christ” (1Pe_1:18-19, R.V.).

4. Identification with Christ in suffering, although we are right and thus following in His steps—1Pe_2:20-23.

5. Substitution for us, for He “bore our sins in His own body on the tree” (1Pe_2:24; 1Pe_3:18).

6. Separation from sin, for He died for our sins, that we should be “dead” to them—1Pe_2:24; 1Pe_4:1, 1Pe_4:2.

7. Partnership with Christ in His sufferings, in enduring trial and persecution—1Pe_4:12-16.
