2 Peter 1:1-2

This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ.

I am writing to all of you who share the same precious faith we have, faith given to us by Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, who makes us right with God.

2 May God bless you with his special favor and wonderful peace as you come to know Jesus, our God and Lord, better and better. (NLT)

 

Peter humbles himself before Christ. He knows his place before Jesus, do you? Peter sees himself as equal among all believers and that we all share the same faith, faith given to us by Jesus. Even though Peter was an apostle in a leadership position he never held it over anyone. As we humble ourselves before God, obey Him and follow Him, He will bless you, give you special favor and wonderful peace. This does not mean life will be smooth sailing but that He will be beside you through all of life’s trials and you can rely on His peace and joy through it all. No matter what, Jesus is right there with you.

Come to know Jesus, our God and our Lord, better and better every day.

 

Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
