SERMON NOTES: “
The Example and Message of Jesus and the Church"
1 Peter 2:21b-25 (1 Peter Series) David Anderson
I. Jesus is our Example. (2:21-23)
“because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.”
II. Jesus is our Substitute (2:24)
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.”
III. Jesus is our Shepherd (2:25)
“For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
IV. Application: How to Change a Nation
