  • 1 1 Peter 5:10-11 “The Devil Sure Is Busy.” This Is How Christians Often Respond When Bad Things Happen. It May Be a Trial
    DIVINE ASSURANCE FOR CHRISTIAN SUFFERING 1 Peter 5:10-11 “The devil sure is busy.” This is how Christians often respond when bad things happen. It may be a trial we are undergoing. Or it can be a trial someone else is going through. But when something happens that is unpleasant, unending, or unexplainable, we often respond by saying, “The devil sure is busy.” It’s one of the things church folk say. I want to take issue with that statement. But I don’t object to this statement because it is true. The devil is busy. Ephesians 6:10-11 says, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” The devil is so busy that you need the whole armor of God to stand your ground against his evil schemes. That’s the truth. But it is not the whole truth. I submit that the devil is not the only one who is busy when bad things happen. God is also at work. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Satan is busy at work against you. But God is at work on your behalf. You may not find “Under Construction” signs hanging around. You may not see the tracks of heavy machinery. You may not hear the sound of heavenly jackhammers in the distance.

  • Fact Sheet for “The Coming Glory” 1 Peter 5:1-14 Pastor Bob Singer 06/26/2016
    Fact Sheet for “The Coming Glory” 1 Peter 5:1-14 Pastor Bob Singer 06/26/2016 Today we come to the closing chapter of Peter’s first letter. In this chapter we will find both important theology and great application. Remember that Peter’s readers were experiencing persecution for their faith. His letter was sent to encourage them. ESV 1 ¶ So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, (-) not under compulsion, (+) but willingly, as God would have you; (-) not for shameful gain, (+) but eagerly; 3 (-) not domineering over those in your charge, (+) but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. Notice Peter’s mention of Christ’s sufferings and Peter’s own hope in the glory that is going to be revealed. He identifies with their suffering. Notice also that he identifies himself with their elders (“fellow elder”). His next words come from someone who can identify with them. Theology… These verses are some of the most critical in the NT in understanding church leadership. They were not only addressed to those whom our culture identifies as the “pastors”. You need to think biblically and not with current culture here. The following are a few observations. 1. These elders were the leaders of the church. 2. There was more than one.

  • An Exposition of 1 Peter 5:1-4
    Bibliotheca Sacra 139 (1982) 330-341. Copyright © 1982 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Selected Studies from 1 Peter Part 4: Counsel for Christ's Under- Shepherds: An Exposition of 1 Peter 5:1-4 D. Edmond Hiebert Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, shepherd the flock of God among you, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God: and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears. you will receive the unfading crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:1-4, NASB). In these four verses Peter offers loving counsel to the leaders of the afflicted believers living in five Roman provinces in what is today called Asia Minor. They constitute the first section of the concluding paragraph (5:1-11) of this practical epistle. The opening "Therefore" (ou#n) indicates a logical thought connection with what has gone before. This particle is omit- ted in the Textus Receptus, perhaps because this concluding paragraph of the epistle proper does not seem to be an obvious deduction from what has just been said, as "therefore" seem- ingly suggests. If it is omitted, 5:1-11 may be viewed as an appropriate summary of the author's ethical appeals to his readers. But modern textual editors agree in accepting it as the original reading.1 Then, in keeping with the inferential force of the particle, it is generally viewed as constituting, in effect, an expansion on "doing what is right" (e]n a]gaqopoii<%), the concluding words of the preceding paragraph (4:19).

    How to Finish Well Find a Leader You Can Trust (Part 1) 1 Peter 5:1-4 1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. 1 Peter 5:1-4 (NIV) When deciding who to trust as a leader: 1. Examine how they view themselves? 2. Do they have a shepherd’s heart, or a hirelings heart? 3. Examine who they are trying to please.

  • 1 Peter 1-5 New International Version (NIV)
    1 Peter 1-5 New International Version (NIV) 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. Praise to God for a Living Hope 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

  • 1 Peter 5:8-14 “Resisting the Devil”
    1 PETER 5:8-14 “RESISTING THE DEVIL” 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. • Be sober 1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. • Be vigilant o The picture in this word is that of a sleeping man rousing himself. While the other word conveys the idea of simple wakefulness, this adds the idea of alertness. o In the temple, during the night, the captain of the temple made his rounds, and the guards had to rise at his approach and salute him in a particular manner. Any guard found asleep on duty was beaten, or his garments were set on fire. Compare Apoc. 16:15: “Blessed is he that watched and keepeth his garments.” The preparations for the morning service required all to be early astir. The superintending priest might knock at the door at any moment. o The Rabbis use almost the very words in which scripture describes the unexpected coming of the Master. “Sometimes he came at the cockcrowing, sometimes a little earlier, sometimes a little later. He came and knocked and they opened to him” 1 (Edersheim, “The Temple”). • Why? o Devil § Is like a roaring lion • Full of grandstanding language • Full of lies and guilt-making John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
