Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you … Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 1 Peter 4:12,16 The Reason for Suffering (v.14,16) The Reality of Suffering (vs.12) The Response to and Reward of Suffering (vs.13,19) The Resilient Hope (Daniel 3:24-25) Questions to Consider: What would you be willing to die for? How can you support and encourage Christians around the world who are facing persecution today? Would you commit to learning about one country on the Open Doors World Watch List?
