Greetings Brethren,
Today our associate pastor, Jason Austin, is proclaiming God's Word from our pulpit. He is continuing his series in 1 Peter. Addressing 1 Peter 3:18-22, he writes: "Amidst suffering, amidst unjust suffering, we are to behave, respond, and conduct ourselves in the same manner of Christ. We are to have the same attitude and outlook as Christ. We are to walk in the same steps in which he walked. Peter knows that living amidst unjust suffering is very difficult, he knows that living amidst unjust suffering is hard, he knows that it can be very disheartening, depressing, and lonesome. So he is writing to encourage his readers that just as the LORD Jesus Christ was victorious in his unjust suffering, so will those who suffer for his sake also be victorious." |
