Today, we come to 1 Peter 2:24-25 in which Christ is described as the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls. Witness Lee explains the meaning of these titles as they connect to His loving and caring visitation (2:12).

This week’s highlight is taken from Thursdays programme. What does “grace” mean in 1 Peter 2:19-20? Much more than merely unmerited favour, Peter reveals a deeper understanding of grace as the inward motivation of the divine life experienced in the midst of unjust suffering. Through such grace, Christ is reproduced as the model (2:21) and manifested to the people around us.
What signs indicate that Christians are abiding in God and the divine fellowship? On the negative side, dealing with sins is one sign that we have previously covered in the Life-study of 1 John. Today, Witness Lee explains the second sign from the positive side – to love God and to love the brothers in 1 John 2:3-6.
How can we love God and the brothers? Such a condition surely requires us to know God experientially and continuously in our daily lives and to keep His word (i.e. commandment). We will also see the life-supply contained and conveyed in the word that shines in newness and freshness, resulting in a daily walk in the light rather than in the darkness (1 John 2:7-11).
