What Does 1 Peter 1:10 Mean?
Peter turns his readers' eyes backward to the prophets, who spoke of a grace they themselves had not yet received. They searched their own words like men digging for treasure.
There is great dignity given to ordinary believers here. The very salvation they now hold was the longing of prophets who strained to see it from afar. What was hidden from generations of seekers has been freely handed to a scattered church. They are heirs of a hope that the greatest of the old voices could only reach toward.
