Humble Yourselves Before The Lord,

And He Will Exalt You

Bible Readings: James 4:1-12; 1 Peter 5:1-11

Summary: The Apostles James and Peter both preached that

humbleness is the opposite of pride. Peter addresses the

elders first and encourages them to be humble. He is a fellow

-elder, a witness of the sufferings of Christ, but also a

partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed when Jesus

returns. He tells us to do what Jesus has done to shepherd

the flock and take care of the congregation. Peter says to the

elders, Don’t exalt yourselves, but lead by example. Lead by

example by serving as Jesus did.
