The Bible is full of paradoxes.  The first shall be last.  The last shall be first.  To receive, we give.  To live, we die.  The greatest is the servant of all.  In humbling ourselves we are exalted.  The way up is down.

 

1 Peter 5:1-7 drives home some of these paradoxes.  If we are willing to serve—to put others first, God will bless that attitude and our lives will be better for it.

 

This spirit of humility is the theme that Peter emphasizes for the relationships that we are to have in the family of God.  Our model in it all is Jesus—the One who perfectly models the truth that the way up . . . is down.

 

What a great message as we approach the Christmas season!  What a motive for Thanksgiving!  He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of dying on the cross.  In doing so God exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name.  At that name we are saved.

 

Let’s follow Him as we descend into greatness.

Marriage.  It’s made in heaven but it’s lived on earth!  And there’s the rub.  Moonlight and kisses have a way of becoming daylight and dishes. 

 

Fortunately, God has given us counsel in His word to guide us in our marriages.  1 Peter 3:1-7 is a key passage chock-full of reliable counsel for couples.  Let’s pray that this Sunday will be a real shot in the arm for our families.
