Of which salvation the prophets have inquired 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. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:10-12

The entire Bible is about Jesus Christ and Gods Kingdom to come! Regardless of what book or chapter you are reading in your Bible, it will in some way point to Christ. This is what the Apostle Peter is trying to convey to us here, the prophets throughout the Old Testament foretold about Christ and the New Covenant, they searched diligently the scriptures and when Jesus came, he fulfilled it

As a Christian, sometimes your daily walk may seem long or boring, however think about this , you are living in prophetic times! Until Jesus Christ returns, you are living in prophetic times, everything you do on a daily basis for God’s Kingdom, matters! As Jesus taught us about the parable of the Mustard Seed, the Kingdom of God is growing daily, you are part of the building of Gods Kingdom! (Matthew 13)

Just as the Old Testament prophets were living in prophetic times and the Apostles were living in prophetic times, you are also living in prophetic times, think about that! Just like them, we know how it ends, we know Jesus Christ has the victory and Gods Kingdom is eternal , however we don’t know all the little details of how Gods plan is going to work itself out, so enjoy the journey of a lifetime, literally

The Apostle Peter says “Which things the angels desire to look into” The Angels in Heaven have been watching Creation since the beginning, they know how it’s going to end also, but they are eagerly watching how it’s all going to play out! The angels have watched the prophets suffer and die for Christ, the angels have watched the Apostles suffer and die for Christ, the angels are watching the Church right now! All eyes in Heaven are on you, are you fulfilling your calling in Christ?

So what is the mission of the Church, as Peter says “By them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven” We share the good news of Jesus Christ and Gods Kingdom, this is our job as Christians and this is the same message given since the beginning of time, Amen!
