WHO’S YOUR TRAVEL BUDDY? 1 Peter 3:1-3:7 1 Peter 2 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[a]22 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” I Peter 3:1 says this: “Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives” ILLUS: Candace Cameron Bure was a star on the TV sitcom “Full House”, and this is HER understanding of submission: youtube/watch?v=GbobNUh2-WU 1st EVERY Christian is commanded to submit to others Matthew 20:25-28 we’re told that Jesus called His disciples together and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. “…he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.” I Peter 2:23 And how can wives submit so confidently to their husbands? 1 Peter 3:5 declares: “this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands” “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” 1 Peter 5:6 Every Christian must learn submission and humbleness so that God will lift us up in due time. “Husbands, IN THE SAME WAY be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” 1 Peter 3:7 “…showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.” 1 Peter 3:7 “Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives” 1 Peter 3:1 1
