1 Peter 2:24

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 2:18-25

1 Peter 2:18-Lamentations : . This is one of the noblest passages in the NT on the real meaning of service. It raised the position of slave at one moment to the highest honour. A man could take all degradation out of it, for he might put into his slavery the whole spirit of Jesus. With exquisite reminiscences of prophetic language and touches of personal experience the writer sketches Christ’ s life and death of ministry, which wrought righteousness and healing. So might their lives, thus... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self; not by offering any other sacrifice, (as the Levitical priests did), but by that of himself. Bare our sins; or, took up, or lifted up, in allusion to the sacrifices of the Old Testament, the same word being used of them, Hebrews 7:27; James 2:21. As the sins of the offerer were typically laid upon the sacrifice, which, being substituted in his place, was likewise slain in his stead; so Christ standing in our room, took upon him the guilt of our sins, and bare their punishment,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 2:18-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 2:18. Servants.—Slaves. Many of the early Christians came from the ranks of slaves, or freedmen. And their freedom in Christ made their bondage to an earthly master specially irksome. Perhaps “the οἰκέται here addressed are domestic servants, who were more exposed to the bad temper of their masters than the servants in the field.” Froward.—Crooked. One who is unreasonably exacting, capricious, and cross-grained.1 Peter 2:19. Conscience toward God.—Better,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 2:24

1 Peter 2:24 The Witness of the Apostles. I. St. Peter says of Christ, with whom he had lived in daily intercourse, He "bare our sins in His own body on the tree." Wonderful and unexampled assertion that He whom he called the sacrifice for human sin, the reconciliation of the world, was no person whose name had come down to him from the remoteness of time, but One whom he had himself known! He had known Him, and yet he proclaimed this unutterable mystery about Him. Had our Lord been mere man,... read more
