Peter refers several times in his first letter to ‘Christ’. Almost universally those
references are focussed upon the sufferings of the Messiah, the exception being
5:14.
Is Peter simply specifying
that Jesus suffered (which of course is true) or is his language intentionally
incorporative? That is to say, is he using 'Christ'
as shorthand for ‘the Messiah and his people’?
