The Gospel as Comfort

We are comforted when we remember . . . The Gospel as Comfort We are comforted when we remember . . . that Christ suffered (he is familiar with our pain)

1 Peter 2:19-23 (NET Bible) 19 For this finds God’s favor, if because of conscience toward God someone endures hardships in suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God. 21 For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.

1 Peter 2:19-23 (NET Bible) 22 He committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.

1 Peter 4:12-16 (NET Bible) 12 Dear friends, do not be astonished that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as though something strange were hap-pening to you. 13 But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice and be glad.

1 Peter 4:12-16 (NET Bible) 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker. 16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear such a name.

We are comforted when we remember . . . The Gospel as Comfort We are comforted when we remember . . . that Christ suffered (he is familiar with our pain) why Christ suffered (he died for our eternal redemption)

1 Peter 2:24-25 (NET Bible) 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. By his wounds you were healed. 25 For you were going astray like sheep but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

1 Peter 3:17-18 (NET Bible) 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil. 18 Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.
