Season 16: Hope & Encouragement

Discover God's Truth

Apr 03, 2024

Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19

Title: Keep Rejoicing

Peter addresses his audience as “Beloved, dear friends.” He shares difficult truth with them about the suffering of Christians. We often view testing and persecution as strange and abnormal. Is God against us? We are surprised when we face times of suffering, and quickly become discouraged. But Peter warns us to expect difficult times, persecution, and suffering.

Jesus spoke these words to Peter:

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
– Matthew 5:11-12

God will leave something in each of our lives that we cannot fix. This will cause us to come to the Lord and seek His strength, endurance, and grace. God is our mighty fortress and strong helper. God’s truth abides and His kingdom is forever.
