Today’s Goal:
Develop an eternal perspective and cultivate godly humility.
Study Tip:
When reading Scripture, consider what you’re learning about God and His character. In fact, for further study, make a list of all you learn about Him in today’s text.
Read and Write:
Before we dive into today’s study, be sure to read over yesterday’s portion of 1 Peter 4. This will help us see the connection to Peter’s transition in chapter five. Also, quickly read through all of 1 Peter 5 before you begin mining through 1 Peter 5:1-7 to gain a fuller understanding of the chapter.
Now, read slowly through 1 Peter 5:1-7 and prepare to write down your observations.
- What eternal perspective does Peter have in verses 1-4?
- List all the instructions given to the elders (overseers in the Church).
- Describe three qualities you believe a good shepherd should have.
- List some reasons why proper relationships and care in the Church is vital.
- In Peter’s day, the Greek culture viewed humility as shameful. Only a slave or someone with poor self-esteem due to a low social position would be humble. Define the word “humble” or “humility.”
- Write a summary that encompasses the main messages of 1 Peter 5:1-7.
Reflect:
- Who is under your care? What can you begin to do to serve them more faithfully?
- Who do you need to show more humility toward?
- What situation has you anxious that you need to throw off and into God’s care?
Apply:
- Based on today’s lesson, what’s one thing you’ll do?
