“Jesus’ Example in the Home”
1 Peter 3: 1-7
Peter addresses husbands and wives in 3:1-7. We are to follow Jesus’ example in our homes with our families. Husbands, wives, and children are challenged to follow in our Savior’s footsteps.Let me say first, that there are no perfect families. All of us are corrupted by sin. Likewise, there are no perfect churches. I’ve heard it said, if you find one, don’t join it because you’ll ruin it. I say this to say simply that since none of us are perfect, the thing to do is, with God’s help, to seek to work to better our marriages, families, and home life. After these many years of life, I would say that the number one thing that we all must work on is self. Too many people, including Christians, are selfish. We want things our way. We’re not willing to give an inch. From our text, let us notice some practical helps that will make our homes a holy, happy, peaceful, place.
