1 Peter 2:21-25. There are some key words in this passage that people often overlook. (To this...Because...Instead...So that...For...But now) Meditate on what is being said following these powerful words and pray the Holy Spirit would speak to you through the word as you read. I encourage you to read this passage numerous times this week. Remember, Jesus is our perfect example. How did he respond to Anger, Hatred, and unforgiveness. Read the passages before and after these passages as well to get a fuller understanding of the text.
"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps “He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
