A New People for an Old Message: A Study in 1 Peter, 3:18-4:6
Our passage is an encouragement for those being unjustly persecuted. It displays the victory and vindication of Jesus. Paul reminds us that we shouldn’t be surprised at suffering since our savior suffered unjustly, but He suffered unjustly on our behalf, and it is because of this that we have the ability and the hope to persevere through trials and persecution. We are made alive in Christ Jesus and His victory on the cross for our sake, and His righteousness.

A New People for an Old Message: 1 Peter 2:9-12
We are called to love and serve our fellow man in spite of their treatment of us. Peter wants us to understand our new identity in Christ, and help us realize that persecution, lies and false accusations are synonymous with our proclamation that Jesus is Lord.

Go to Him and Bear His Reproach 2
What reproach did Christ endure? He was mocked. He was reviled. He was beaten. He was betrayed. He was spit upon. He was falsely accused. He was persecuted. And He was crucified. This is what the writer means by going outside the camp. To go outside the camp you put yourself at great risk. You now have left the security of the culture where to fit in is safety. You have now entered the Kingdom of God where discipleship lesson number one is that you are called as a Christian to suffer.
