Show Notes

In 1 and 2 Peter, we find a rich portrayal of Jesus that reveals His unique roles in both His suffering and His glory. Peter describes Jesus as the "Living Stone" and "Cornerstone," foundational to the Church, and as the "Lamb without blemish," whose sacrificial death redeems humanity. These images highlight how Christ, though rejected by the world, is central to God’s plan of salvation, calling believers to build their lives on Him.

 

Peter also presents Jesus as a model for enduring suffering, encouraging believers to follow His example of faithfulness under trial. As the "Shepherd and Overseer of souls," Jesus not only guides and protects His followers but also holds divine authority over their salvation. This dual role as both compassionate shepherd and powerful overseer reassures believers of Christ’s active presence in their lives.

 

Looking to the future, Peter emphasizes Jesus' return and His role as the "Righteous Judge" and "Morning Star." Christ’s second coming will bring both judgment and restoration, ushering in a new heaven and a new earth. These revelations challenge believers to live holy and expectant lives, grounded in the hope and grace that Jesus, the source of all knowledge and godliness, provides.
