As Peter approaches the end of his letter, he concludes with exhortations to elders and Christians in general. v1 Before proceeded to exhort the elders, Peter first reminds his readers of his credentials: a fellow elder a witness of the sufferings of Christ a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed Reminding his readers that he is also a "fellow elder" is significant because Peter must therefore hold himself accountable to the same set of standards in his exhortations that follow. Being a witness of Christ's sufferings reminds us of Peter's authority as an apostle who was a witness of Christ's ministry on earth. Yet despite his credentials, Peter also chooses to stress his basic identity as a Christian, awaiting future glory. vv. 2-4 Here we find Peter's exhortation to the elders, that they should shepherd the flock of God and exercise oversight. In doing so, they are to keep in mind the following: Their attitude (serving with willingness) Their motivation (serving with eagerness) Their conduct (serving as good examples) By following such guidelines, they can expect a reward when Jesus, the chief Shepherd, returns (v4). vv. 5-6 For those who are younger (in age?), Peter exhorts them to be subject to the elders. And for Christians in general, Peter exhorts them to be humble since God favors those who are humble.
