1 Peter 5:8-14 “After You Have Suffered a Little While”



As we come to a close of 1 Peter, we’re reminded that our suffering in this world is but for a little while. We fight for something greater when we fight to maintain our faith and commitment to Christ in the midst of a fallen world. We are called to invite Christ into our lives and our sufferings as he invites us into his Eternal Kingdom.

1 Peter 5:1-7, “Leading & Learning in Humility”



In this passage Peter encourages the elders, those leaders of the early church, to lead by example and with humility. He encourages those who are younger in the faith to find someone more mature and learn from them in humility. Our chief example of this is Jesus, who is called the chief shepherd. In the context of the early church in Asia Minor, we are to encourage one another in the faith through the difficult times of our life.
