~ Jesus Christ Is The Chief Shepherd ~
The Bible is about Jesus Christ
~ “Jesus
said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! Did not the
Christ have to suffer these things
and then enter His glory?’ And beginning
with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the
Scriptures concerning Himself” (Luke 24:25-27).
Jesus Christ in 1 Peter ~ He is the Resurrected One and our Chief
Shepherd who will return soon. He is the
Chief Cornerstone, and the Rock.
“Of
this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who
prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner
of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to
themselves, but to us they were
ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who
have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven — things
which angels desire to look into” (1 Peter 1:10-12).
Compare
the Following Passages ~ “The stone which the builders rejected
has become
the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s
doing; it is marvelous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:22-23). “Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are
disobedient, ‘The stone which the
builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone’” (1 Peter 2:7).
Comment
~ We have only touched the
surface of Christ in 1 Peter. The
Apostle Paul told us the Scriptures present many shadows of things to come but
the reality is found in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:17).
