1 Peter 1:10-12

In 1 Peter 1:10-12, Peter underscores the profound connection between the ancient prophecies and the salvation brought by Jesus. The Hebrew prophets, guided by divine inspiration, eagerly explored the future redemption, focusing on the Messiah’s suffering and the glory that would follow. Their words, though not fully clear to them, were meant for a future audience—believers who would experience the fulfillment of these promises through the gospel. This message, now proclaimed by Spirit-empowered preachers, reveals a salvation so remarkable that even celestial beings marvel at it. The passage highlights the Hebrew Scriptures as a unified narrative pointing to Jesus, whose life and work fulfill the prophetic hope, bridging the Old Testament with the new reality of salvation for all who believe.
