Witness at Work #2 | 1 Peter 2:19-23 | Pastor Tom Drion

This message continues the Witness at Work series in 1 Peter 2:18–25, focusing on verses 19–23 and the question of how Christians are to live under authority in everyday working life. It addresses common workplace realities—unfair treatment, increased pressure, and the temptation to complain or resist—and asks how believers are to respond in a way that reflects the gospel.The teaching explains that Christian submission is not limited to favourable circumstances, but extends even to unjust situations. The central emphasis is on enduring sorrow while suffering unjustly, with a conscious desire to please God. This kind of response is described as something that “finds favour” with Him. This is not about earning salvation, but about living as those who belong to Christ, knowing that He sees and will reward such faithfulness.This calls for a reorientation of how work is viewed: not merely as service to employers, but as service to the Lord Himself.
