    INTRODUCTION TO 1 PETER, 2 PETER, AND JUDE

    Watch out! Beware! On guard!

    Warnings alert us and urge us to prepare. Potential danger lurks nearby, so we need to be ready by bolstering our courage, building our defenses, and designing our response.

    First Peter, Second Peter, and Judethree small books tucked near the end of the Bibleconvey crucial warnings to believers:

    • Watch out for persecution. Let your suffering build your faith, not crush it. Be strong! (1 Peter)
    • Beware of false teachers, those who would draw you away. Keep focused on Christ. Be alert! (2 Peter)
    • Guard against heresy, twisted truth, and outright lies. Stay close to Gods Word. Be faithful! (Jude)

    Besieged on all sides, the early church faced external and internal threats. Followers of Christ could easily have been defeated or diverted. A distinct minority in a pagan society, they could have capitulated to their culture. But challenged by God through these holy writers and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, they stood fast, even to death.

    We, too, live in a hostile environment, a God-denying culture where many would enjoy eliminating all traces of Christian faith. Crossing the centuries, these short and profound letters have been written for us. Watch out! Beware! On guard! Be prepared!

    INTRODUCTION TO 1 PETER

    Remember when the attacks began? At first, they were subtlejunior high friends decided that going to church was stupid. In the later teen years, you found that your Christian lifestyle contrasted sharply with that of most of your peers, and often they would make fun of your purity and stand for Christ. As you grew in age and experience, you discovered that the attacks increased, especially when you spoke up against wrongdoing, took time to help those in need, and shared your faith. Your strong witness by life and word cost you friends and threatened your job.

    Regardless of your personal persecution, you probably have not come close to what first-century believers experienced. A quick perusal of Acts will reveal stonings, beatings, imprisonments, murderous plots, and executionsall for spreading the truth about Christ. Some of the most severe of the persecutions came at the hands of Nero. This Roman emperor became obsessed with eliminating Christians and their faith. The Roman historian Tacitus said, Besides being put to death, [Christians] were made to serve as objects of amusement; they were clad in the hides of beasts and torn to death by dogs; others were crucified, others set on fire to serve to illuminate the night when daylight failed (Annales 15.44). The price for following Christ was high.

    First Peter was written to persecuted Christians, to those living in Rome and throughout the Roman province of Asia. This letter encourages believers to remain strong; it explains how to live during difficult times; it offers hope to all who suffer for the faith. First Peter speaks to believers in all agesthose in the first century and in our century. God tells us how to respond to our tough times, especially when we are persecuted for what we believe. Read 1 Peter and discover courage, strength, and hope.

    AUTHOR

    Peter: apostle of Christ, one of the original twelve disciples, outspoken leader, and courageous preacher.

    We first meet Peter when his brother, Andrew, brings him to Jesus (John 1:40-42). The sons of John (John 1:42; 21:15-17) and probably from Bethsaida in Galilee (John 1:44), Peter and his brother were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18; Mark 1:16) and partners of James and John (Luke 5:10). Peter and Andrew first followed John the Baptist. When John pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29), Andrew accepted his teachers testimony and immediately left to get his brother, Simon, to introduce him to the Messiah. Jesus addressed Andrews brother as Simon son of John and then changed his name to Peter, meaning rock or stone (John 1:42).
