1 Peter 4:16

Some scholars say that back in Peter’s time, being called a Christian was used as an insult by unbelievers. But we know there is nothing more wonderful than being known as a follower of Christ. And what an honor it is to suffer for Jesus’ sake. For one day, His glory will be revealed to all. And every knee will bow, every mouth confess Him as Lord. So any pain we experience as a Christian, we will do so thankfully, boldly, and without shame. Because nowhere do we resemble Christ more than when we endure hardship for His name and glory. In a world that tries to remove God from everything, Christian’s will face mockery, abuse, and even death. But oh the rewards we will receive when we stand before the Lord as overcomers. For just as we share in Christ’s suffering, we will share in His glory!

1 Peter 2:9

Of all the different races of people in the world, the most wonderful one is God’s chosen race. A race with no color, or ethnicity. An inclusive race of brothers in sisters in Christ called by God as His own possession. We are a royal priesthood and holy nation, set apart by God. And to be a priest of God means we have duties God expects us to carry out. First we are to be teaching the Word to all who would listen. Next we are to become mediators for the sinful, constantly offering up prayers to God on their behalf. For the Lord called us, His children out of darkness and into His wonderful light. So that we can gloriously represent Him to a dark and fallen worldly. I once heard Christian’s described as beautiful stained glass through which the sunlight of God shines. And this darkened in which we live is in desperate need of God’s light, love, and goodness.
