Enduring suffering like Jesus in 1 Peter 2 video discussion

The lectionary epistle for Easter 4 is 1 Peter 2.19–end. Peter sees out a challenge call for us to endure suffering following the example of Jesus.

But to make proper sense of this, we need to read it in its context, and notice the different language that Peter uses of us as slaves of God, living in obedience to him, and servants of others, submitting ourselves to their authority.

The gospel reading for this week is John 10, Jesus as the good shepherd. The video discussion is here,

and written commentary is here.

1. Great stuff fellas, but too much there to initially marshall thoughts into a cohesive bundle for a single sermon; a number of sermons, yes; one demon no.
2 Ian’s concluding comment, is something that was central Tim Keller’s preaching and biblical teaching, as it is with Sinclair Ferguson today.
3 What seems to be deeply ingrained, is the subtle, implied even, message, exhortation to, measure up, to try harder in a lot a sermons.
4 I can recall hearing a well known CoE preacher, saying that he didn’t properly understand a passage until he had to preach it.
5 Not sure what beaten for being righteous, ‘looks like’ in the Western world, specifically the UK today?
6 And while there is mention of models of atonement, including substitutionary, the question, of punishment is skirted around, even though this isn’t a passage to delve into it, there is also mention of the aspect of a trial. Yes, there is far too much here in your talk.
7 I’ve mentioned before that as part of my law degree employment law, was classed as the law relating to Master and Servant.
My dad was indentured to his ‘pupil master’! I still have the document.
I just missed out on the system that required a solicitor’s articled clerk to pay for the necessary training under a deed.
Jesus completely inverted that system. He paid the covenanted deed price! Bound to him.
