Today, Peter advances the theme of submission within the home for a second time! He's teaching the Church that believers can successfully live out their faith even when the world is Hostile toward Godly principals. It's no secret that the Christian home is being assaulted by Satan as he continually undermines Biblical truths. Yet, Peter’s letter helps us understand God’s plan by demonstrating how “submission” works within a home. Peter
is giving pointed instruction for Christian Husbands.

Hope In A Hostile World

Once again the Church is being positioned for what appears to be a season of persecution! Bible believing Christians are on a collision course with the forced standards in our society. Christians stand in stark contrast to the cultural-religion found in the mainstream of our society, and there’s no hiding anymore!

Last week we discovered the cultural-backdrop in Rome and the conditions Peter wrote about. History shows the hostility of Nero's government toward Christians was real and present across Rome! And, we learned that the main theme in 1st Peter is hope in the face of persecution (that hostile an unfair treatment of religious people. Today we add to this with a simple understanding of the man writing - Peter.

This morning let’s also recognize the growth in Peter and apply the lessons of faith so we can grow too. Peter was no joke! Tradition tells us that Peter’s wife was crucified while Peter was forced to watch. And, it’s reported that Peter cried to her as she was dying, He screams out, “Remember the Lord!” Then Peter was crucified upside down. Point being, Peter’s walk with Jesus had matured! And he was putting into practice the things he wrote here.
