  Leadership Matters

  from Bernard Gabbott

  Those who lead God’s mob must lead them in such a way that they can follow the template of Jesus, and be sustained in their ‘resolve’ (4:1) to be like Jesus. This takes a leadership that shepherds the sheep in a way that serves, that is humble. Moreover, it also means that those being led are to know that such leaders are to be submitted to – and that all the mob is defined by humility – just like the Chief Shepherd.

  Resolve like Christ

  from Dan Rowe

  If we follow a crucified Saviour, should we expect anything less than the unjust treatment Jesus received? In chapter 4, Peter wants to prepare his readers for a life of discipleship, as following Jesus will have implications. Christians will be persecuted for their faith and suffer as a result. But that shouldn’t take us by surprise nor should we lament when suffering comes upon us as a result of bearing His name, but rather rejoice!
