1 Peter 3:1-12 - Christlike Living in a Difficult Marriage

Length: 60:24   Download MP3    Switch to Express version

In 2:11-3:7, Peter addresses three groups who are in a vulnerable position because they are under the authority of others: citizens (to governments), slaves (to masters) and wives (to husbands). And his radical instruction to all three groups is that even when the one with authority over them exercises that authority badly, they should still submit. Why? In this talk, we focus on the instruction to wives to submit (3:1-6), seeking to understand what it means and why it's important, and then on the instruction to husbands to respect the position their wives are in (3:7). Ultimately, it is an opportunity for all to be to grow in understanding what it means to imitate Christ in hard situations.
