1 Peter 1:10-12

10 This salvation was something the prophets wanted to know more about. They prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you, even though they had many questions as to what it all could mean. 11 They wondered what the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ's suffering and his great glory afterward. They wondered when and to whom all this would happen.

12 They were told that these things would not happen during their lifetime, but many years later, during yours. And now this Good News has been announced by those who preached to you in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen. (NLT)

 

The salvation that you enjoy today the prophets long ago wanted to enjoy and experience, but their place was only to tell others that it was coming. They longed to see it come but they had to wait. Salvation is here and it is to be shared with everyone. They prepared the way, they foretold of the coming of Christ and all that He must suffer for everyone.

The Angels in heaven waited with great eagerness for the day that Jesus would come to earth to seek and to save the lost, to see His victory and now we too have that victory in Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit now lives within each one of you and you are to follow the leading of the Spirit to guide you to those how need the message of grace.

The prophets proclaimed the coming of Christ. Christ came and died for the world and has passed the torch on to us to continue proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost a dying world. For Jesus is the only hope this world will ever need.
