1Pe 2:20 -25
For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you
endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a
gracious thing in the sight of God.
(21) For to this you have been
called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that
you might follow in his steps. (22) He committed no sin, neither was deceit found
in his mouth. (23) When he was reviled, he did not revile in
return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself
to him who judges justly. (24) He himself bore our sins in his body on the
tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you
have been healed. (25) For you were straying like sheep, but have
now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Let me cut to the chase:
(21)
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
Any questions?
Mat 5:11 -12
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter
all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. (12)
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they
persecuted the prophets who were before you.
