In this Resurrection Sunday message from 1 Peter 3:13–22, we discover that what looks like loss in the Christian life—suffering, sin, death, and spiritual darkness—is often the very place where God is weaving His greatest victories. Christ's suffering wasn’t failure; it was substitution. His death wasn’t the end; it was the door to life. His proclamation wasn’t a warning; it was a verdict. His resurrection wasn't symbolic; it was triumphant. And His ascension secures our future. When seen through God’s eyes, the dark threads of life become a glorious tapestry of redemption. This passage doesn’t just declare that Jesus is Lord—it invites you to say, with all your heart, “Jesus Christ is my Lord.”
