Peter 1:25
That word is the good
news that was announced to you.
Thus we end the first chapter of Peter. “That word”, it the Word of God that endures
forever. It is the Word that turns the
flesh, that withers like grass and fades like the flower, into the imperishable
stuff of heaven, that which is the life changing stuff of which Peter has been
preaching, that is the good news that was announced to his readers.
What is that Good News? This phrase repeats itself from Verse 12,
good news brought by the Holy Spirit, the Good News of Jesus Christ that was
announced to the readers. But it was not
announced first on the written page. It
was first announced when Peter was with them in person, on a missionary journey
through their lands to bring them the message of Jesus Christ.
God has given us a new birth and a living hope through
the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus has Peter opened his letter, speaking to his readers of what comes
from Jesus, the reason of our faith.
