 23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. (Acts 26:22‑23)
• "The Spirit of Christ," a phrase the more striking because not till long after did the Son become the Christ. But what He was disclosing looked on to that wondrous fact and testified of Him beforehand in that character. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• The sufferings are said to be not merely "of" Christ, but "for" Him. They befell Him not simply as a fact, but were appointed unto Him. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• One perceives how unpalatable to a rabbi it is to read in Dan. 9:26 that after a definite interval Messiah the Prince was not to come merely, but "should be cut off and have nothing" i.e. of His Messianic rights, which is the true force. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• But seek diligently and search out as they did, no small difficulty remained, even for those who pondered the wonderful words of Isa. 49:1,4-9, 52:13-15, and 53, the most detailed and luminous of all: the sufferings which awaited Messiah, and the glory of His people Israel. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• The same principle might readily be shown in the history of Joseph, suffering in the pit at the hand of his brethren, and then both sold to Gentiles and consigned, if not to death, to the Gentile prison, but exalted—to rule the world, administering its power with the same wisdom that had been manifested in previous humiliation, to the glory of Him who sat on the throne. We at least are inexcusable if we cannot clearly discern what prophets may have duly searched. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• Christ was accordingly the Speaker by His Spirit even in Old Testament days. (“1 Peter 1” by F.B. Hole)
• The “Spirit of Christ” was “in” the Old Testament prophets at the time of their writing, and this made them vehicles of His operations. He gave them feelings and experiences which were, in reality, a reproduction of Christ’s feelings. That is, feelings which would be fully and perfectly found in Christ when He became a Man and walked on earth. (“New Christian Blessings” by B. Anstey)
