“Strange: Embarrassed Or Embraced?”
May 24, 2020 ~ Ascension Sunday ~1 Peter 4:12-15 [12-15];5:6-11|NKJV~ Color: White /Gold
Anyone that chooses to suffer for no reason must be out of their mind! That’s what Jesus for us, right? How does suffering for a cause or a “goal” in mind is what motivated Jesus. He even told GOD He didn’t want to suffer and die; until He considered what the suffering was all about-Salvation!
Suffering doesn’t “save” us; but it does give us strength in the midst of suffering to continue to move toward the “goal” promised those who in faith press through the pain. The adage: “No Pain, No Gain” particularly applies to our Journey of Faith! “Strange: Embarrassed Or Embraced?”

Suffering for God's Glory
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. ~1 Peter 4:12-15|NKJV~
