Exalting Jesus in 2 Peter, Jude (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary | CCE)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Exalting Jesus in 2 Peter and Jude is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books.
Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary.
The authors of Exalting Jesus in 2 Peter and Jude are Danny Akin and Jim Shaddixx.
- Seeks to display exegetical accuracy
- Offers helpful illustrations and theologically-driven applications
- Provides a commentary that busy pastors can use for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons
Top Highlights
“Believers in Christ inherit ‘very great and precious promises’ that have been given to God’s people through the gospel.” (2 Peter 1:4)
“Scripture’s witness on this crucial doctrine of God’s preserving work is clear: By his work on earth, Jesus obtained my salvation. By his work in heaven, Jesus maintains my salvation. God is preserving fallen angels and apostates for judgment (vv. 6, 13). God is preserving you and me for glory!” (Jude 1)
“Freedom in Jesus is not the liberty to do what I want but the power to do what I should. Pure, undiluted grace will make me fanatical not about rules but about Christ and his moral perfection and beauty!” (Jude 4)
“First, the reality is that Scripture is superior to our personal experience.” (2 Peter 1:19–21)
“In the context, what they deny is not his deity, his person, or his work. What they deny is his lordship. They separate his being Savior from his being Lord. By their sinful life and exploitation of grace, they deny his lordship in and over their lives. They are a law unto themselves, accountable to no one, including the Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4)
