The blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

from Bagster's Daily Light for the Daily Path

EHOLD the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.--The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.--It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.--By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Abel . . . brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. . . . The LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering.-- Christ . . . hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.--Having...boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.

I am the LORD who sanctify you.

AM the LORD your God, who have separated you from other people. And ye shall be holy to me: for I the LORD am holy, and have separated you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Sanctified by God the Father.--Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.--The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus . . . that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.--Our Saviour Jesus Christ . . . gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.--Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.--For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through the truth . . . Through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Sara...1 Peter 3:6

Peter writes, “Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord”

Sarah an older woman…and is proposed as an example, a template, a pattern, a mentor for the attitude and action Peter proposes for the winning of an unconverted husband.

One complaint from our older women is that the younger women ask them for counsel and then do the opposite of the advice given.

Choose right mentors, not Hollywood ‘babes’, nor Oprah nor The View!!!

You have worthy examples in your own congregation, even as Paul proposed: Titus 2:3-5

* The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; (Titus 2:3)
* That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Titus 2:4)
* To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:5)

Sara obeyed Abraham, 1 Peter 3:6

Obeyed: Going along with him wherever he went, as from Chaldea to Canaan, and into Egypt, and the land of the Philistines, saying the words he put into her mouth, Gen.12:5 and doing the things he bid her do, as in last minute guests; Gen.18:6 "calling him lord"
Abraham: the father of faith
There are consequences to disobedience in the home…little eyes, and older eyes, are watching. Expect your behavior to be imitated!

1 Peter 3:1, Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands...

Wives of the ancient past were “in subjection unto their own husbands.” When Peter exhorts the female readers of this epistle to submit to their husbands, he bases his advice on a long-standing tradition. He knows that the women in ancient times demonstrated their submission with inner qualities that are highly favored in the sight of God.

We that are in this tabernacle do groan,being burdened.

LORD, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee...My iniquities have gone over my head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.--O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves, . . . which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, . . . groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.--Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations.

Shortly I must put off this my tabernacle.--For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

be in subjection to your own husbands...

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; 1 Peter 3:1

Old Francis Quarles, in his homely rhymes, alluding to the superstitious notion, that the crowing of a hen bodes ill luck to the family, has said: -

“Ill thrives the hapless family that shows
A cock that’s silent, and a hen that crows:
I know not which live most unnatural lives,
Obeying husbands or commanding wives.”
