Observation

This question was less popular among the candidates. In the A part, most candidates answered this question from their own sociological perspective by preaching and giving sermons rather than answering the questions as outlined by Peter. The B part was better answered by the candidates in that they were able to identify ways youths can keep good interpersonal relationships with the elders. In the A part, Candidates were required to state that;

1. Peter refers to Christian leaders as witnesses of the suffering of Christ and partakers of the glory that is to be revealed during his second coming.
2. They should therefore look after the flock of Christ with tenderness.
3. They should not regard their assignment as a burden rather they should discharge their duties willingly.

5. Not by being overbearing but serving as true example/ role model to the flock.
6. They would reap their due reward in due course when the Lord comes.
7. Leaders should humble themselves under the mighty hand of God for God to exalt them.
