Sep. 8, 2014-1st Peter 4-5
Tend My Sheep
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
“16 He said to him a second time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes,
Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my
sheep."’ John 21:16
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 1 Peter Chapter 4; “The
consideration of Christ's sufferings is urged for purity and holiness. (1-6) And
the approaching end of the Jewish state, as a reason for sobriety,
watchfulness, and prayer. (7-11) Believers
encouraged to rejoice and glory in reproaches and sufferings for Christ, and
to commit their souls to the care of a faithful God. (12-19)
Chapter 5; Elders
exhorted and encouraged. (1-4) Younger
Christians are to submit to their elders, and to yield with humility and
patience to God, and to be sober, watchful, and stedfast in faith. (5-9) Prayers
for their growth and establishment. (10-14)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
Christ
suffered here on earth; (see 1 Peter 4:1-11) so each of us must be ready
to suffer as he did. Use the gifts you received to serve one another and glorify
Jesus. Don’t be surprised
or shocked when you are tested; (see
1 Peter 4:12-19) if we suffer while obeying God, we are and must keep on doing what
is right.
This
letter is to encourage us in love as we share Christ’s suffering (see 1 Peter 5:1-11) Jesus himself will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you
in His work. In
conclusion, the apostle prays to God for them (see 1
Peter 5:12-14) reminding them how kind God really is; “14
Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in
Christ.” 1 Peter 5:14 English Standard
Version (ESV). I would remind you Saints
the Word of God needs no extra books or organizations to clarify the Gospel
for us; (see John
14:26) the Holy Spirit does
that for us. Depend only on God,
Jesus and the Holy Spirit to guide us; “10 Teach me to do your will, for you
are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!” Psalm 143:10 ESV. Because Jesus
loves us we will overcome all difficulties; (see Psalm
23:3 ) through the power of
His might we are conquerors. In all
things we should pray (see Matthew
4:4) and depend on the
Holy Spirit and Word of God for the sustenance of God’s flock.
