Apostle Peter teaches the need to suffer injustice as a means of glorifying God.
1. COMMAND.
Slaves must obey even unjust, harsh, wicked, and perverse masters. The fear of God is their motivation.
2. COMMENDATION.
Suffering injustice in the hands of unjust masters is not meaningless but beautiful because God is honoured.
3. CALLING.
We are called to follow Jesus, suffering injustice without retaliation.
4. CONFIDENCE.
Jesus entrusted Himself to God who judges justly. And so can we.
5. CONSEQUENCE.
Through our obedience (enduring in the face of injustice), people may be saved too, by the grace of God.
Suffering injustice is not a weakness, nor a waste, nor a wrong. It is the surprising plan of God to witness to and to win the lost.
