Rejoice. Be Glad. With Exceeding Joy
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1 Peter 4:13
Reading:
1 Peter 4:12-17
How do I prepare for “the fiery trial which is to try you” (1 Peter 4:12)?
And how do I rejoice in such trying times?
Must all Christians be sharing Christ’s sufferings?
Should I cultivate thinking of myself as being part of a suffering people?
What portion of my sufferings and reproaches are not for the name of Christ?
When I “suffer as a Christian” (1 Peter 4:16), for what shall I glorify God?
