Text: 1 Peter 1:3
THE BLESSING OF GOD’S NAME
The blessing of God was typical among the Jews. It was almost customary among them to bless the Lord’s name when He is mentioned (Cf. Psalm 103:1-2). Peter was the leading apostle with a significant ministry among the Jews. That he would bless the Lord’s name was typical and expected.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”1 Peter 1:3
