“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.”
1 Peter 1:10-11 KJV
Peter’s revelation was that this salvation was the focus of the prophets who prophesied of this outpouring of grace that was destined for us. They made a careful search and investigation of the meaning of their God-given prophecies as they probed into the mysteries of who would fulfil them and the time period when it would all take place. The Spirit of the Anointed One was in them and was pointing prophetically to the sufferings that Christ was destined to suffer and the glories that would be released afterward. Christ redeemed our original value, identity and innocence - He died our death and defines the life we now live. Christ fulfils the theme of Scripture: the sufferings of the Messiah and the subsequent glory! Hallelujah!
