When Peter wrote this letter to believers in Asia Minor, persecution was increasing and they were under pressure to deny their faith. Peter’s letter is full of practical instruction on attitudes and behavior to strengthen their faith and witness. The world has always been (and will continue to be) hostile to Jesus Christ and His followers. In light of that, the letter of 1 Peter contains both relevant and needed teaching and encouragement for Christians today.

Jesus of Nazareth changed the course of world history. Yet He never raised an army, led a revolt, or held a political office. He never accumulated wealth, gained power, or traveled outside the borders of His tiny country on the Mediterranean Sea. He lived His entire life in poverty, working manual labor, and was executed as a criminal at the height of His popularity.

So how did Jesus change the world? By calling individual men and women to recognize and respond to Him as the true King–the One who would save the world. In this course you will see how six men responded to Jesus. As you read, ask yourself, "What is my response to Jesus the King?"
