“The Difference for Disciples”
1 Peter 2:1–12 (CSB)
Key Truth: “Disciples of Jesus live to reflect the difference He makes in their lives.”
Main Question: As a disciple of Jesus, what difference has following Jesus made in your life, and how can you grow more in Him?
1. Disciples discover a different motivation. (1 Peter 2:1-3)
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24
2. Disciples build on a different foundation. (1 Peter 2:4-8)
3. Disciples relish a different identification.
(1 Peter 2:9-10)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17
4. Disciples pursue a different reputation.
(1 Peter 2:11-12)
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
