1 Peter 4:12-19

 Ignore or make light of our suffering and pain.  Do everything we can to escape suffering.  Reject the goodness of God because of suffering.  Complain about suffering because we don’t like it.  Seek God’s wisdom and guidance through suffering.

12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.

16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. 17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

 God disciplines us when we sin against Him.  God teaches us to listen to Him and obey Him completely.  God establishes and fortifies our trust in Him.  Our suffering and persecution brings glory and focus upon Christ as we live the Christian life obediently.

 What will be your reputation when you suffer?
