Suffering for God’s Glory

12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
13 but rejoice ato the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that bwhen His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.  
14 If you are1 reproached for the name of Christ, ablessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.2 On their part He is blasphemed, bbut on your part He is glorified.  
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a1 busybody in other people’s matters.

I Peter 4:12-15

Please turn over to I Peter 4, verse 12. Now, Peter wrote about our blessed state in life, not that we would find personal and positive enjoyment in being criticized and slandered, but our blessed condition is because it resembles our Savior's condition. It shows that we are His friends, and it shows that we have rich spiritual influences in this present world.

We are going to read verses 12 to 19, and this section is about suffering for God's glory.

I have always found that shocking in one way that a busybody is included with a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters. It is a much more serious a crime, so to speak, or sin than we really realize, is it not?
