Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 1:12

"To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angel desire to look into." — 1 Peter 1:12 (ASV)

Which things the angels desire to look into.

They, as well as the prophets, are deep students of the unsearchable mysteries of Christ.

To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things, which are now reported to you by those who have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

See the kind of preaching that we should all desire to hear, and that all God's ministers should aim at: those who have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

Nothing but a gospel full of the energy of the Holy Ghost, and set on fire by him, can effect the eternal purposes of God; but this is the kind of preaching that will live, and that will also make people live.

God send it to every church and congregation throughout the world!

Amen.
