Suffering as the Messiah Did

Suffering as the Messiah Did
1 Peter 2.18-25

Not long ago, at the height of a snowstorm, our house, and two nearby villages as well, were without electric power for fourteen hours. Our heating system is controlled by electricity, so the house became very cold. We could burn logs in a stove, but though that could keep us warm it wouldn’t be easy to cook on it. The telephones didn’t work. The computers, of course, didn’t work either. It reminded me once more not only what it’s like for many people today in parts of the world where electric power is only intermittent, but what it was like for everyone until extremely recently within human history...
