Didn't you love the way Peter talked about our "priceless inheritance?" It is "kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay."
Peter was a man who was transformed from one who denied the Lord to one who died proclaiming the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a tribute to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. It was important that God's children not slip back into their old ways of living. Instead, they were to be holy in everything they did, "just as God who chose you is holy." Remember that Peter knew Jesus as well as anyone so when he talks about "the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God," he knows what he is talking about.
Tomorrow, we'll read Hebrews 1 - 6.
Sorry for the abbreviated lesson, but I’m still feeling pretty awful – not that I’m complaining or grumbling about it. This too shall pass.
Until next time…
