1 Peter 1:10-12 (ESV) Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
If you were living during the days of the Old Testament, what are some places in the Bible that would have given you the clearest pictures of who Christ was going to be and what He was going to accomplish?
How does living on this side of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ help us look back and read the Old Testament even more clearly?
In what ways did the lives of people like Job or Joseph or David play out the “suffering then glory” storyline that we ultimately see played out in the life of Christ?
Why is it that “angels long to look” into the salvation that we have experience in Christ? How do we uniquely experience and relate to the Gospel in a way that angels don’t?
