[4402.06 --> 4403.20] and is equipping you to live
[4403.20 --> 4405.50] is to see Jesus.
[4406.70 --> 4408.12] To see that he has lived
[4408.12 --> 4409.34] the life I should have lived
[4409.34 --> 4411.02] and that by his grace,
[4411.16 --> 4412.58] he grants me
[4412.58 --> 4414.02] somehow in this
[4414.02 --> 4415.80] great divine exchange
[4415.80 --> 4417.14] his righteousness
[4417.14 --> 4418.84] and that that exchange
[4418.84 --> 4421.34] also takes my sin
[4421.34 --> 4422.10] and the punishment
[4422.10 --> 4423.60] that I deserve for that
[4423.60 --> 4424.88] and puts it on him
[4424.88 --> 4426.12] so that on the cross,
[4426.56 --> 4427.92] he bears it
[4427.92 --> 4429.96] in my place.
[4431.22 --> 4432.12] He lived the life
[4432.12 --> 4432.90] I should have lived
[4432.90 --> 4433.92] and died the death
[4433.92 --> 4435.28] that I deserve
[4435.28 --> 4437.64] so that by his grace
[4437.64 --> 4438.96] we might live
[4438.96 --> 4440.50] in righteousness
[4440.50 --> 4442.28] with him.
[4447.08 --> 4448.88] Notice here.
[4450.46 --> 4451.78] Not only does Jesus
[4451.78 --> 4453.76] accomplish this identity
[4453.76 --> 4457.26] and give it to you,
[4457.26 --> 4459.28] but then he is also
[4459.28 --> 4461.90] held up as our example.
[4463.24 --> 4464.64] He's held up as
[4464.64 --> 4466.58] the one whom we are
[4466.58 --> 4467.46] to mirror
[4467.46 --> 4468.90] in the world
[4468.90 --> 4470.82] and in our relationships.
[4472.88 --> 4474.64] And in this section here,
[4475.30 --> 4476.64] Peter highlights
[4476.64 --> 4479.76] three key relationships
[4479.76 --> 4483.20] wherein you can reflect
[4483.20 --> 4486.18] this gospel truth.
[4486.18 --> 4489.54] we read the first
[4489.54 --> 4490.42] relationship,
[4490.92 --> 4491.08] right?
[4491.14 --> 4493.02] The civic relationship
[4493.02 --> 4494.68] in verse 13 through 17.
[4495.44 --> 4495.54] Right?
[4495.66 --> 4496.26] Submit yourselves
[4496.26 --> 4496.98] to the Lord's sake
[4496.98 --> 4498.36] for every human authority,
[4498.50 --> 4499.38] whether to the emperor
[4499.38 --> 4500.68] as supreme authority
[4500.68 --> 4501.54] or to the governors.
[4501.68 --> 4502.14] Verse 17,
[4502.28 --> 4503.20] show proper respect
[4503.20 --> 4503.96] to everyone.
[4504.48 --> 4505.06] Love the family
[4505.06 --> 4505.66] of believers.
[4505.92 --> 4506.50] Fear God
[4506.50 --> 4508.34] and honor the emperor.
[4510.22 --> 4510.70] Now,
[4511.70 --> 4512.42] again,
[4512.80 --> 4513.68] real quick,
[4513.68 --> 4514.90] in case you
[4514.90 --> 4516.02] don't know this,
[4516.12 --> 4518.84] but two or four years
[4518.84 --> 4519.80] after Peter
[4519.80 --> 4521.52] writes this letter,
[4522.78 --> 4523.24] Nero,
[4524.42 --> 4525.46] historians say,
[4525.76 --> 4527.14] starts to lose his mind
[4527.14 --> 4528.72] and he starts
[4528.72 --> 4530.34] killing Christians,
[4530.92 --> 4531.54] burning them
[4531.54 --> 4532.60] at the stake.
[4534.32 --> 4535.52] He was emperor
[4535.52 --> 4536.62] when Peter said,
[4537.62 --> 4540.48] submit yourselves
[4540.48 --> 4541.78] for the Lord's sake
[4541.78 --> 4543.06] to every human authority.
[4544.52 --> 4545.14] Fear God,
[4545.80 --> 4547.10] honor the emperor.
[4551.58 --> 4553.12] One of the ways
[4553.12 --> 4554.28] that we,
[4554.82 --> 4555.82] as Christians,
[4556.08 --> 4557.46] might look weird
[4557.46 --> 4560.04] is by honoring
[4560.04 --> 4561.92] the civic authorities
[4561.92 --> 4563.62] that are placed
[4563.62 --> 4564.22] in our midst.
[4565.46 --> 4565.84] Now,
[4565.88 --> 4566.26] I get that
[4566.26 --> 4567.22] that has to be careful
[4567.22 --> 4568.20] and that some of you
[4568.20 --> 4569.02] are going to push back
[4569.02 --> 4569.24] and say,
[4569.32 --> 4569.36] well,
[4569.36 --> 4570.02] what if they call me
[4570.02 --> 4570.86] into disobedience
[4570.86 --> 4571.76] and call me into sin
