This morning we are getting back to our theme for the year of Living Expectantly.
A journey that is taking us through the 1st and 2nd letters that Peter wrote to the church.
Our verse is found in
Peter expected that the people that read his letters would be encouraged to live in an expectancy of these things that he wrote about in their lives.
These things that Jesus had died and resurrected to secure for us in our lives - blessings beyond his greatest gift of all, our salvation.
These are the things that we have looked at so far.
We have a Glorious Inheritance
It is a new life in Christ - an eternity in heaven and we experience it in our living hope and genuine faith.
We have experienced God’s Amazing Grace.
It is how we have the ability to get up every morning and face each new day with the real assurance that we are the children of God, who are loved and accepted by our heavenly father.
We have recieved his Powerful Word
It tells us who we are.
It tells us how to live.
because it tells us who our God is.
when we know who we are
We find our spiritual place and position.
When we are right with God, we have a right to expect God to move.
We serve a covenant God.
When we are honoring our side of the covenant, we can always be sure that God is honoring his.
As we live in our spiritual position
We are Being Changed
God’s presence is filling us and becoming more active in our lives.
As His Holy Spirit becomes more active, we get more active
And we become more like Jesus
And
We Experience His Blessing
We no longer have to fear, for God has given us our spiritual armor and weapon to overcome the fear attacks of the enemy.
We are becoming people of the Word which gives us a spiritual boldness and an overwhelming peace
We are learning to live in total trust and reliance upon our God.
We Experience God’s Glory
That is the manifestation of God’s presence in the world of humanity.
Vividly and powerfully recognized as such.
WE need to make sure that it is a matter of prayer for us - Lord Reveal your power in our lives that others might see it and that you would be lifted up
We need to live in a way that will set an atmosphere for God’s glory to be seen.
We need to live in expose God’s glory wherever we do life.
Today we finish up Peter’s first letter by looking at Chapter 5
First we see some expectations for those who lead - primarily Pastors of the church, but it can also be applied to other ministry leaders as well.
If you are in a ministry here at the church, please go back and read these verses 1-4 this week and ask the Lord to do this in your heart.
Shepherd those under your care - make sure that you are caring for them, providing for them from God’s Word and these other expectations of the Christian life that we have been talking about.
Make sure that there are none left out or lost
Do it from a heart of compassion for them and not compulsion
Do not fleece the flock - a shepherd term for stealing from them or taking advantage of them
Be examples to them, not as someone who is a dictator, but as one who is following Christ - The great shepherd
I pray that you see all of those things in this man today.
But we want to get into the message today
We are called to Live Under Authority
1 Peter 5:
This is being Submissive
Submissive to authority
Estamos llamados a vivir bajo autoridad.
What is Godly submission?
First it is the recognition that with age comes respect.
We respect our elders.
Continue to
God planned for there to be a marked respect for those people who had lived life and experienced it
Why, because they knew things that the young had not yet learned.
They would need help as they got older
They were the ones who had gotten you this far
God wanted them taken care of
But if we look up at the passages to the leaders what does Peter call them?
Elders
I love the way that God does things.
I love the way that in his Word, he makes sure that all things (with the Help of the Holy Spirit) can be understood.
When we read this, we are like, wait, verses 1-4 - Couldn’t Peter have written them some place else.
They seem like a break in content and thought.
But we see here that they aren’t.
This is a continuation of thought and it really spells out Godly submission.
Paul says it like this -
I as an elder of the church and anyone else who is in such a position, really have no right to be respected if we don’t respect God’s authority over us.
Basically, Godly submission is submission to God’s authority over our lives.
So we honor Him first.
We respect Him first, and we praise HIm only
Then we give God the praise for those whom he has placed over us to do what?
shepherd and care for us
and be examples of Godly living for us
again those who
are doing it out of compassion and desire
not doing it for dishonest gain
and not being dictators over us
So he says here have Godly submission.
Honor God in the lives of those around you.
the younger to the elders
The sheep to the shepherds or elders
and look at the continuation of verse 5 - to one another.
(give examples - as I see God moving in your life, my heart becomes submissive to you)
I honor the God in you
I praise God for what he is doing in you
and I seek God’s face to bless you in even greater ways.
Can you see why this is such an important expectation in living.
That we can expect that God would be at work in those around us
That we can expect that others would see God at work in our own lives
And that we would celebrate those things
Godly submission in Pre-marital - Walking side by side with one another through life, recognizing God’s hand in the creation of the one on our left or right and celebrating that with one another.
a wife that is in submission to her husband will honor him and stick by him through all the hells of life
A husband that is walking in proper Godly leadership in his marital relationship, will submit to his wife as God’s blessing and gift to him to assist in the joys and problems of life.
Hand in hand, celebrating God
And Paul tells us in Ephesians, that the marriage of a man to a woman is a picture of the relationship that we have in heaven with Christ.
PRAY for submission to each other
It is being
Submissive Under Authority
