Suffering in 1 PeterLiving
Stones
Revisiting Joel Green, 1 Peter.
• “1 Peter is about God and the ramifications of orienting life wholly around him. This entails refusing the conventions of honor and status that constitute Roman politics in favor of the valuations and judgment of the merciful God who has chosen and honored what the systems of this world have dismissed,” (3).
![Page 19: Session 8 Slides](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdf3c1a28ab2034bc5805/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Suffering in 1 PeterLiving

Revisiting Joel Green, 1 Peter.• “Because 1 Peter does not name tactics of resistance in terms explicit
and recognizable to our ears, we may be tempted to imagine either that Peter counsels sectarian withdrawal from society or proposes optimism toward Babylon. What if, instead, we were to read this letter from the perspective of its central icon, the passion of Christ – that visible and horrible manifestation of what happens when life is lived according to God's view of the way the world really is? What if, instead, we were to read this letter from the perspective of its primary temporal orientation, the End – that actualization of God's purpose, the judgment, the vindication of the faithful, which undermines the claims of Babylon (in all its guises) to its own ultimacy or importance?” (4).

Suffering in 1 PeterLiving
Stones
• Concerning 3.13-22:
Christian suffering is neither futile nor ultimately harmful; Christian suffering for righteousness does not violate Scripture but rather fulfills it.
For the Christian, suffering temporally now provides the basis for witnessing to the nations of our hope, that is, coming salvation (relief) and judgment (vindication). Christian suffering in the present qualifies as “blessed,” which is far different from the eschatological suffering of the wicked.
![Page 21: Session 8 Slides](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020321/568bdf3c1a28ab2034bc5805/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Suffering in 1 PeterLiving

• Concerning 3.13-22:
Christian suffering is neither futile nor ultimately harmful; Christian suffering for righteousness does not violate Scripture but rather fulfills it.
Suffering aligns the church with the larger biblical narrative wherein the righteous are oppressed by the wicked but are ultimately vindicated by the righteous judge while the wicked are judged (e.g. Noah, Joseph, David, Hezekiah, Esther and Mordecai, Daniel and his friends, and Jesus). Suffering for righteousness is what living in exile is about.

Living
StonesSince therefore Christ suffered in the
flesh,arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the
flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer
for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for doing
what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With
respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of
debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to him who is ready to
judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who
are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the
spirit the way God does.

Living
StonesThe end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and
sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one
another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show
hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a
gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied
grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in
order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen.

• Concerning 4.1-6
Exiles live in light of the End and prefer suffering to sin; there will be a reckoning for all, and it is better for us to suffer transiently (with those who are already dead but still live) than permanently (with the nations in their unrepentant debauchery).
