John Gill expounds on 1 Peter 5:10, emphasizing that God, the source of all grace, calls believers to eternal glory through Jesus Christ. He reassures that the sufferings faced by the faithful are temporary and serve a purpose in perfecting, establishing, strengthening, and settling them in their faith. Gill highlights that this divine call is not merely external but an internal, effective one that assures believers of their secure position in Christ. He encourages the congregation to rely on God's grace during trials, as it leads to ultimate glory and stability in their spiritual journey. The sermon concludes with a promise of God's ongoing work in the lives of believers, ensuring their growth and perseverance.

Octavius Winslow reflects on the profound encounter of Moses with God at the burning bush, emphasizing the divine manifestation of Christ in this event. He highlights the significance of God's holiness and justice, symbolized by the unconsumed bush, which foreshadows Christ's suffering and endurance on the cross. Winslow encourages believers to recognize the glory of Jesus in their trials, assuring them that just as the bush was preserved, so too will God sustain them through their afflictions. He calls for a deeper understanding of Christ's love and sacrifice, urging the faithful to turn to Him in their moments of need and sorrow.
