1005 1 Pet.1.1-3 To the New_True Israel of God Pt.1

Sometimes the expression "needs a bomb under him" in order to move a person is fitting. For the apostle Peter, it required an awakening, a transformation in thinking. His once exclusivist Jewish view had undergone a real shake up.
He now understands everything through the lens of Jesus Christ. The old Jewish covenant of identity and law have been updated. Peter struggled with accepting the newer version until the resurrection of Christ. Now, however, the awakening made that change complete.
