Rejoice in Suffering by Rejoicing in God
Peter teaches that believers should expect to suffer in this world. Some of the suffering will come specifically because one is a Christian. The world does not love our Master and the more we are like our Master and proclaim His message we should expect to suffer. Yet, the Christian is to rejoice in suffering. This is possible because one rejoices in the glory of the Lord for whom he suffers. If one loves the Lord greatly, he will be willing to suffer for the name. Even more, he will rejoice in suffering.
