“The whole New Testament pulsates with this truth: The resurrection is absolutely, fundamentally, and crucially vital.”

In any flock of sheep, some are assertive and move forward, some hang toward the back, and others manage somehow or another to drift off on their own, stragglers and wanderers. These kinds of groups are also found in nearly every local church—and it’s the wanderers that we will now consider: those who, if ever they were holding fast to the Gospel, seem to be slowly, imperceptibly loosening their grip.

When believers face suffering, how are we to respond, and how are we to love and care for one another in the midst of it? The apostle Peter addressed these concerns as he wrote his first letter, reminding his readers to cultivate Christian character, love their enemies, commit themselves to doing good, and be prepared to explain their hope, all in view of Christ’s own suffering on our behalf. As Alistair Begg explains in the sermon “Suffering for Doing Good,” for the Christian, suffering is inevitable—but how we endure it can, by God’s grace, testify to God’s glory:

If you’ve ever been with a woodworker at a task, you’ll know the kind of care that is required with a sharp blade. The same is true of a surgeon laying out the instruments of surgery. The Word of God, Hebrews tells us, is like a sharp blade (4:12). It is all too possible to brandish it like a sort of whirling dervish, swinging it around recklessly, striking terror and causing untold damage. Instead, those who wield it are urged to do so cautiously and graciously, purposefully and kindly.

Firemen, bomb disposal experts, miners, surgeons—we generally view these as high-stakes, dangerous, or stressful jobs. But the New Testament adds another occupation to the list: teaching. In the letter bearing his name, James offers this warning:

The believers of Peter’s day, changed by God’s grace, faced inevitable accusations from the world around them. In response, Peter urged them to defend themselves not by arguing for their position but by living honorable lives. In his message “Honorable Conduct,” Alistair Begg helps us to see why it’s our behavior, not a method or a movement, that God often uses to open doors for us to share the Gospel message:

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

In Luke 12, we read that Jesus was journeying toward Jerusalem when “many thousands of the people had gathered together” to meet Him (v. 1). Chapter 11 tells us Jesus was inside a Pharisee’s house when the crowd had assembled, presumably waiting for Him to come out again and minister to the masses (v. 37).

Having urged the readers of his first letter to “love one another earnestly from a pure heart,” Peter went on to explain what such brotherly love would entail. Loving fellowship demands action, he taught. Christians must be prepared to establish themselves on the foundation of union with Christ, stand as witnesses to God’s goodness and glory, and—as Alistair Begg explains in his sermon “Living Stone, Holy People”—draw sustenance from the deep well of His Word:

“God’s glory—God’s character, power, and majesty—which is invisible to us, becomes visible as He makes Himself known.”

After declaring the indicatives of what was true of them in Christ, Peter laid out several imperatives for the first-century readers of his first letter to take to heart. As Alistair Begg points out in his sermon “New Life, New Lifestyle,” his instructions—to prepare their minds, be sober-minded, set their hope on Jesus, be holy, live in reverent fear, love earnestly, and obey the truth—remind us today of our need for grace and of the abiding truth of God’s Word:
