1 Peter 3:18-22

Main Point: Peter encourages Christians to consider the example of Jesus, whose unjust suffering resulted in victory.

1. Jesus’s unjust suffering at the cross brings us closer to God.
2. The resurrection shows that Jesus is victorious over the demonic realm, dominion over them, and he succeeded in providing salvation for us.

Practical Importance: When you endure suffering for doing good, you will be blessed.
