  • 1st Peter #8: Encourage each other by leaning on Christ : We can wish each other many good things, but in reality, they are only wishes. It is different when we lean on Christ to wish them. As in many end of epistles, we find here encouragement for our daily life.
  • 1st Peter #7: Church leaders are shepherds, not herders : Just as modern shepherds eventually became industrial herders away from their flocks, most of the time, so could local church leaders who could learn from management methods. The apostle recalls here some much more useful advice, he who was an elder in the Church and who was commissioned by the risen Jesus.

    • BBE summary for : 1 Peter 5

    Summary: In 1 Peter Chapter 5, the Apostle Peter concludes his letter with practical instructions and encouragement for the elders and the broader community of believers. He begins by emphasizing the responsibilities of church leaders, urging them to shepherd the flock willingly and selflessly, rather than out of compulsion or for personal gain. Peter emphasizes the importance of humility among all believers, encouraging them to submit to one another and to cast their anxieties on God, as He cares for them. The chapter introduces the idea of spiritual vigilance, instructing believers to be alert to the adversary, the devil, who prowls like a roaring lion. Peter calls for resistance against such spiritual threats, reminding Christians of their shared experiences in suffering and the importance of mutual support within the body of Christ. He concludes with a note of hope, affirming that after enduring trials, God Himself will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish believers in their faith. The chapter encapsulates themes of leadership, humility, perseverance, and the assurance of God’s ultimate provision and faithfulness.
