Steve picks up from last week continuing with the second of Peter’s three different contexts in which verse 2:16 gets worked out in our lives. We’ve been given a glorious new Identity in Christ in order that we might give our lives up in humble service of those around us. In this section, Peter applies the same principle to the home, between husband and wife, and particularly applies it to wives living with unbelieving husbands. Peter wants us to see that the husband serves his wife by his leadership, and the wife serves her husband by her gracious submission. In both cases, the spouse’s service is first and foremost to God himself, as His Servant, and then to one another. Come and listen as Steve encourages husbands and wives to outdo each other in honor and service so that Christ can be glorified.
