Daily Walk Through the New Testament
February 19
Read 1 Peter 1:22-2:17

It’s always good to hear a sermon. But the world doesn’t often get to hear one, so it needs to see the good news in believer’s lives. Jesus illustrated His teaching with the way He lived. He did not only talk about love; He loved. He did not just command forgiveness; He forgave. When His life was scrutinized, no fault was found in Him. He truly lived to the glory of the Father. Shortly before His crucifixion, Jesus said to His Father, “I have glorified You on earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do” (John 17:4).
As a Christ follower, you are a part of God’s special envoy to this world. Paul called each believer an ambassador of Christ, a representative of Him in this world (2 Corinthians 5:20). The words of 1 Peter 2:11-17 echo an exhortation of Jesus: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify Your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Today, aim to glorify God by living in a way that points the lost to Him.
