SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Peter 4:12-19

Suffering as a Christian

¹² My friends, do not be surprised at the terrible trouble which now comes to test you. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.¹³ But be happy that you are sharing in Christ's sufferings so that you will be happy and full of joy when Christ comes again in glory.¹⁴ When people insult you because you follow Christ, you are blessed, because the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.¹⁵ Do not suffer for murder, theft, or any other crime, nor because you trouble other people.¹⁶ But if you suffer because you are a Christian, do not be ashamed. Praise God because you wear that name.¹⁷ It is time for judgment to begin with God's family. And if that judging begins with us, what will happen to those people who do not obey the Good News of God?
¹⁸ "If it is very hard for a good person to be saved,
The wicked person and the sinner will surely be lost!"

¹⁹ So those who suffer as God wants should trust their souls to the faithful Creator as they continue to do what is right.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
