Suffering With Hope (1 Peter 3:13-17)
When suffering comes, don’t fear or retaliate. Set apart Christ as Lord, hold onto hope, and let faithful suffering display Christ to others.
“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” – Philippians 4:8-9
