What have you suffered?
What have you given up?
Can it be redeemed?
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.Live for the will of God.The end of all things is near. 1 Peter 4:1-2, 7
Hope wears thin when it feels like I’m the only one who is giving in, giving up, and losing out. My hope wears out when I’m on the low end of the power differential—especially when I know I’m right!
Peter says there’s a bigger picture, a greater good, and there’s a pending end in mind.
This Sunday let’s identify with the Christ who suffered to bring about a greater good.
Read 1 Peter 2:11-4:11 to prepare your heart for worship.
I LOVE You, and I LOVE Being Your Pastor!
