Submission to Corrupt Authority
from Village Church Sermons Hosted by Gus Bageanis
Continuing on with the theme of submission, Peter now deals with how Christians are to respond to ungodly or corrupt authorities in our lives. If, in everything we do, we are to point people to Jesus, what do we do when the odds are stacked against us and we are being treated unfairly? Peter makes clear in these verses that there will be times in our lives when every fiber in our being wants to rise up and rebel or lash out against those that we are serving under. However, he tell us that during those times we must look to Jesus' example on the cross and remember how He responded when He was treated unfairly. This is ultimately how we show God to this world and point people to Jesus during times of suffering.
