Class Devotion Rejoice (?) when You Suffer

1 Peter 4:12-14 (NIV) Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. [13] But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. [14] If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

Consider When should you rejoice? What causes the negative attention that results in suffering? What is it we are really rejoicing about? Rejoice when your lives do communicate – Who Jesus is – What He has done in your life – What He is doing
