The apostle Peter teaches the same thing as the apostle Paul, namely about the cross as a division in time. He writes: “Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow” (1 Pet. 1:10-11).
Mtume Petero anafundisha lile jambo kama mtume Paulo, tukitaja kuhusu msalaba kama gawanyo la wakati.Ana andika. “Kwa habari ya wokovu huu, wale manabii walosema kuhusu neema ambayo ingewajia ninyi, walitafuta kwa bidii na kwa uangalifu mkubwa, wakijaribu kujua ni wakati upi na katika mazingira gani ambayo ndani yao Roho wa Kristo aliyokuwa akionyesha alipotabiri kuhusu mateso ya Kristo na utukufu ule ambao ungefuata”.
