The Uniqueness of Christian Suffering

Michael Hansen, Pastor of Student Ministries - 3/6/2022

1 Peter 4:12-19

What unique care does God offer persecuted believers?

  1. A reason to rejoice (v. 12-13 rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed)
  2. A purpose to pursue (v. 14-16 let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name)
  3. A hand to hold (v. 17-19 let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator)
