A primera vista, este texto bíblico parece decir que si una persona sufre en la carne, ya no tiene pecado. Pero una lectura más cuidadosa nos ayudará a entender que Pedro aquí está edificando sobre lo que dijo en el capítulo anterior donde presentó el sufrimiento de Cristo: ""Porque también Cristo padeció una sola vez por los pecados, el justo por los injustos, para llevarnos a Dios, siendo a la verdad muerto en la carne, pero vivificado en espíritu;"" (3:18). Pedro dice que el Justo sufrió una sola vez por los pecados de los injustos. Ahora en el capítulo 4, Pedro vuelve al pensamiento y dice que quien padeció en la carne, o sea, Cristo, terminó con el pecado. Cristo venció el poder del pecado en la cruz para que no tengamos que vivir en servidumbre al pecado. Por tanto, Pedro nos anima con el resultado de lo que hizo por nosotros Cristo: si hemos aceptado a Cristo por fe, ya no tenemos que vivir obedeciendo las concupiscencias de los hombres sino conforme a la voluntad de Dios.
La gran meta para nosotros hoy es hacer precisamente esto: vivir el día de hoy para hacer la voluntad de Dios en vez de obedecer los deseos pecaminosos de nuestra carne. En Cristo tenemos la victoria si estamos dispuestos a mirar a Él y recibir su fuerza. (David Bell)

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
