Ministry on This Verse

 It is a reference evidently to Psa. 34:8 where there is a most touching call from the inspired writer that others might share his joy in Jehovah. "O taste and see that Jehovah is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him." Here it is to the Christian so much the sweeter, in that the Apostle identifies the Lord Jesus with Jehovah, as it is the truth. To have proved it for and in our inmost soul is the condition of growth in the word. (1 Peter 2:1-3 by W. Kelly)
 If I have tasted and understood that the Lord acts in grace, that He is love towards me, and that His Word is the expression of that grace, even as it communicates life, I shall desire to feed on this milk of the understanding, which the believer enjoys in proportion to his simplicity. (1 Peter 2 by J.N. Darby)
