About this episode
1 Peter Conclusions
· Christoformity is the major theme of the letter. In mind and in behavior.
· Christians should have the mindset of exile within the kingdoms of the world
· Family identity permeates the letter. God is father and Jesus is our brother and example. The ethos of the family dictates what is honorable and not what society does. We bear God’s name.
· Suffering is not something we should look for, but it is something we should be willing to do for Christ. It shows our participation in Christ and trials form our faith. Christ suffered at the hands of the world and his followers likely will too.
· Upside-down kingdom identity- Peter uses many phrases that are derogatory in the culture to describe Christians as honorable
o Elect/beloved exile- Basically loved or chosen homeless person
o Christian- Identifying with someone crucified as your leader
o Spirit of humility- having the mind of a slave
Peter offers hope to persecuted Christians and guides them with practical instruction on following Jesus.
