Peter gives us a swift kick in the pants with 2.18 and 19, undermining everything we “know” about justice and fairness.

Go ahead and submit yourselves to your boss, or leader. Not just to the nice ones, but to the nasties as well. And, on top of that, respect them. Cuz God really thinks it is cool when you, because of your love for Him, are willing to put up with vicious folks who rank above you. What’s the problem with a bit of torment, anyways?

1 Peter 2.18-19  [MSV]

 

It reminds me of Paul in 1 Corinthians 6.7b-7c, writing about getting the ripped off by another believer:

Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?  

The upside-down Gospel.

What a way to live!
