Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 5:1-6 – (⁠00:00⁠)

QUESTIONS 

Q1. Why is there a need to use the term ‘under shepherd’ since 1 Peter 5;2 (feed the flock) refers to the term “Shepherd”? – (02:58)

Q2. Why do we continue to call a retired (or step-downed) Elder an ‘Elder’? Is it appropriate (as it can cause confusion or if the person is no longer qualified)? – (06:04)

Q4. What do the Scriptures command the younger to do concerning Elders / older people / each other in the church? Give examples of such behaviours in church. – (15:18)

Q5. Does this mean that elders / elderlies/ all have no responsibility towards the young? Explain. – (43:50)

Q6. Why is this model (of submission) so important? – (50:46) 

====  

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 5:1-6  

1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:  

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;  

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.  

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.  

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.  

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

CHAPTER VII OF GOD'S COVENANT WITH MAN

1. THE distance between God and the creature is so great, that although reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto him as their Creator, yet they could never have any fruition of him as their blessedness and reward, but by some voluntary condescension on God’s part, which he hath been pleased to express by way of covenant.1

Bible Passage (KJV): John 14:16-31

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
