1 Peter and Jesus #2 – Prophets
1 Peter and Jesus #2 – There are many hints within this epistle of Peter’s walk with Jesus. After Jesus told the parable of the Sower, His apostles asked why He spoke in parables. Included in the answer was, “For I assure you: Many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them” (Mt.13:17). When we get to 1 Peter, he writes, “(10) Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated. (11) They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when He testified in advance to the messianic sufferings and the glories that would follow. (12) It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Angels desire to look into these things” (1 Pet.1:10-12).
