12 Stones: Submission

Gary Wilkerson

[1 Peter 2:13–3:7] In our modern culture we don't want to be told what to do. Peter tells us we are called to be subject to authority — in government, on the job, and in the home. All of these positions of authority have been ordained by God. We are to submit even when we suffer wrongfully. In the example of Christ, we are to endure these trials. The reward of this suffering is a life in Christ like we have never known.
