Episode notes
Peter's Farewell Tone
- 2 Peter reads like Peter's farewell, written as he sensed his end and aimed to leave final counsel.
- The letter targets Christians under pressure and false teaching, urging steadfast loyalty to Jesus.
Letter Written Before Execution
- Matt suggests Peter likely wrote 2 Peter shortly before execution, making it possibly his final preserved letter.
- This historically frames the letter as urgent and deeply personal.
Practice Virtues As Witness
- Make every effort to add to your faith goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love.
- Persist in right action as a witness in hostile culture instead of using force or deception.
