Christus Examplar in 1 Peter

Tonight we will be looking at 1 Peter and discussing how to suffer well like Christ. Central to this is the doctrine of Christus Examplar. Unfortunately, very few Reformed, conservative Christians are willing to talk about this issue. As a result, I am in the middle of writing on the topic from a Reformed perspective. So far I have written 4 parts. Here are the links and as I continue to post more, I will link to them here.

Where Theology and Life Intersect: A Theological Case for Christus Exemplar and Why It is Necessary - Part 1 - Introduction
Where Theology and Life Intersect: A Theological Case for Christus Exemplar and Why It is Necessary - Part 2 - This regards the doctrine of sin and depravity
Where Theology and Life Intersect: A Theological Case for Christus Exemplar and Why It is Necessary - Part 3 - Here is a discussion on the historicity of the doctrine
Where Theology and Life Intersect: A Theological Case for Christus Exemplar and Why It is Necessary - Part 4 - Here is a discussion on Humility

Coming soon will be discussions on love, suffering, and other topics. The point is that when it comes to life, we must remain firm on the cross. The gospel is substitutionary and the gospel demands we live like our dying Savior.
