  • Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1–6

Peter tells us that Jesus’ willingness to suffer and entrust himself to God sets an example that we must follow. Christ who lived a perfect life willingly suffered and died for us, therefore what makes us think that we should live a pain-free life? Are we better than Jesus in some way? Of course not. Suffering is par for the course in the broken world we live in. It is even part of God's will for our lives. Now, this is not an easy thing to hear. Peter wants to offer us insight, encouragement, and hope to walk as Jesus did in the face of suffering.
