Entice: We are called to serve gladly, those who treat us badly.
In 21c for most of us that is a small class.
In our text today Peter addresses those whose place in life was that of house slaves.
Roman slavery was different than the system of slavery called the Peculiar Institution of the Antebellum south.
Roman slavery was social, economic, and class-driven.
It was not racist.
There was no way to look at the clothing, skin color, or external features of an individual and know whether or not they were a slave.
Slaves could be educated.
They might be prostitutes or professors, un-skilled laborers or highly trained leaders.
They kept the master's kids and the master's books.
It was not the racially motivated, paternalistic, mess we had here.
But it was bad.

Engage: Though we do not experience directly the circumstances of a house-slave almost all of us have had the corollary of a boss, supervisor, superintendent, officer, instructor, or leader who was bad.

The heart of this passage is the understanding that we are not called to access the ability of the boss but to submit regardless.

Expand: You and Jesus have a relationship which governs all others.
We cannot fully follow Him if we insist on the right to only obey those commands we find easy.
I've had bosses to whom submission was painful.
Whose values and lifestyle I did not share.
These words are addressed to me not them and the obligation to obey is mine.

Excite: We have to get over our selves!
We are called to do something that is unnatural, something that we will not want to do for the purpose of extending the example of Christ in the world.
The purpose of our submission is redemptive and connective.
Because it is difficult; twice in this passage Peter tells us that it is a "grace" from God. Something which He commands, enables, and empowers.
