1Pe1:1
As the design of this Epistle is excellent, remarks Dr.
Macknight,
so is its execution, in the judgement of the best critics, does
not
fall short of its design. Ostervald says of the first Epistle of
Peter, 'it is one of the finest books in the New Testament'.
Erasamus
pronounces it to be 'worthy of the prince of the Apostles, and
full of
apostolical dignity and authority;' and adds, 'it is sparing in
words,
but full of sense.' 'As the true Church of Christ', says Dr.
Clarke,
'has generally been in a state of suffering, the Epistles of St.
Peter
have ever been most highly prized by all believers. That which
we
have just finished is an admirable letter, containing some of
the
most important maxims and consolations for the Church in the
wilderness. No Christian can read it without deriving from it
both
light and life. Ministers especially should study it well, that
they
may know how to comfort their flocks when in persecution and
adversity. He never speaks to good in any spiritual case who is
not
furnished out of the Divine treasury. God's word invite,
solicit, and
command assent: on them a man may confidently rely. The words
of man
may be true, but they are not infallible: this is the character
of
God's word alone.' To these valuable remarks on the varied
excellences
and uses of this inimitable Epistle, it may be only necessary
to add,
that it is not only important in these respects, but is a rich
treasury of Christian doctrines and duties from which the mind
may be
enriched and the heart improved, with the most ennobling
sentiments.
