1 Peter 5:1-7

Summary

We learn about the task of godly leadership, the motivations behind it, and the way it is to be exercised. Godly leaders recognize that they have an influence on others, so they take that responsibility seriously. They are models of humility for their people. Spiritual leaders are primarily motivated to lead because of God's grace toward them and because they see what is ahead?eternal rewards. They are not inspired by earthly gain or approval. They aim to please the Lord, not people, because they are centered on God's values. True spiritual leaders willingly suffer for their people (?the flock?). They are also leadable. No one can lead effectively until they themselves have learned to follow.
