Our text today takes us to challenging places. To the original hearers these words upended societal norms in liberating but threatening ways. To modern ears these same words are equally challenging but for the opposite reason. These words are threatening not for their radical liberation but for their seemingly unseemly subjugation. 1st Peter is a monument to the vast difference between how we think & how God thinks. Our culture says “do what you feel.” God says do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy.The world says rejoice in leisure & pleasure. God says, rejoice, though now for a little while, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith, may be found to result in praise & glory & honor at the revelation of Jesus. Scoffers say "Where is this Jesus? I do not see Him!" God says: "Though you do not now see him, you believe in him & rejoice with joy that is inexpressible & filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." Today, we come to the high water mark of counter-cultural instruction. Peter moves from calls to submission to unrighteous civil authorities & unjust employers to calls to submission within our own walls. Our text today zeros in on "Submission to Our Imperfect Spouses."
