Theme: How do I continue to live for Christ when people don’t like what I have to say? Peter is concerned with how Jesus is known inside the Church and how He is presented outside the Church. Because of the power of Jesus and the Gospel, when hostility and suspicion come, we are the ones happy and content, we are the ones that are blessed. The blessing of living the Gospel is that it guides us through difficult relationships and it shows us what it means to be the church that God wants us to be, to enjoy life before God and to follow Jesus through suffering.

Tema: Vivendo come mariti e mogli cristiani. Pietro scrive alle mogli e ai mariti.Per le mogli, sei innanzitutto sposata con Cristo, quindi rimani in un matrimonio difficile vivendo per il matrimonio perfetto con il Signore Gesù. Quando stai soffrendo in un modo ingiusto sotto il tuo marito questo è una cosa preziosa negli occhi di Dio perché Lui sta guardando al tuo cuore, Lui ti conosce, sei bella per Lui. Quando conformi il tuo cuore al Suo, una nuova bellezza sta nascendo nel tuo cuore e stai assomigliando sempre di più a Dio. Per i mariti, il modo in cui benedici la tua moglie rivelerà la sua vera bellezza.

Theme: Living as Christian husbands and wives. Peter writes to wives and husbands. You are married to Christ first, so you stay in a difficult marriage living for the perfect marriage with the Lord Jesus. For the wives, when you suffer in an unjust way underneath your husband this is precious in God’s sight because He’s looking at your heart, He knows you, you’re beautiful to Him. When you conform your heart to His, a new beauty starts to arrive in your heart and you become more and more like God. For the husbands, the way you bless your wives will reveal her true beauty.

Theme: Reflecting Christ in our workplaces. No matter what kind of boss you are given, God’s call is to have respect for all of them, whether they are good and gentle or unjust. Christians work for excellence because we work for the Lord.

Tema: Seguendo Gesù. In questi verseti, Gesù ci dimostra come si è sottoposto ad un trattamento ingiusto per la volontà del Padre. Pietro ci sta dando un idea di cosa significa soffrire pazientemente. Servire e amare Cristo causeranno una sofferenza ingiusta e questo è un a cosa bella negli occhi di Dio. Soffriamo per seguire di più Lui, la sofferenza ci rivela nel cuore qual’è la nostra causa e per chi viviamo.

Theme: Following Jesus. In these verses, Jesus shows how He subjected Himself to unjust treatment for the will of the Father. Peter is giving us an idea of what it means to suffer patiently. Serving and loving Christ will cause unjust suffering and it’s a beautiful thing in the eyes of God. We suffer so that we follow Him more, when we suffer it really reveals in our own heats what our cause is and who we live for.

Theme: The Death and Resurrection of Lazarus. This miracle showed that Jesus has power even over death, the last thief that we have to encounter. And no matter what we are going thru Jesus has total control. There is nothing more valuable than your walk with Christ, there is no one that loves you more than Christ, so don’t let anything move you from the hope of the Gospel.

Theme: Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Being indifferent to Jesus, when we look at the cross, if it doesn’t changes the way that we live, the way that we love, is exactly like sitting in the darkness and practicing a Judas kiss. When Jesus was crucified, He took the venom into Himself for us. So when we look at the cross, our hearts should melt in worship. We should run to the cross where our snakebite was taken and we were healed. We need life, we weren’t made to be Judas, we weren’t made to hate God, we were made to love God and love others.
