4. 1 Peter 4:12-19 ESV
Suffering as a Christian
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test
you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar
as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when His
glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed,
because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you
suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone
suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that
name.

17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins
with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the Gospel of God?
18 And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a
faithful Creator while doing good.

5. Having told us how to have a clear conscience in chapter 3, here in chapter 4,
Peter tells us how to think clearly in days of difficulty.
http://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.M1da92090ae5ddd71925f05614fffc2fbo0&pid=15.1
1 Peter 4:1a ESV
1a Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way
of thinking,
"Tough times are coming," says Peter. "Therefore, arm yourselves with clear
thinking."
He goes on to give us other ways of thinking about suffering: the seven benefits
of suffering.
Seven Benefits of Suffering
1. Suffering loosens sin's grip on us. (v1-3)
2. Suffering causes others to see us differently. (v4)
3. Suffering places us in good company—the company of the martyred. (v6)
4. Suffering keeps us focused on eternity. (v7)
5. Suffering frees us to participate in ministry. (v8-11)
6. Suffering allows us to experience glory. (v12-14)
7. Suffering reminds us to faithfully commit our soul unto our Creator. (v19)
1 Peter 4:12 ESV
Suffering as a Christian
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test
you, as though something strange were happening to you.

6. "Why us?" we ask when fiery trials come upon us.
http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mdf2615d367c44a4be984d2bd2153372eo0&w=300&h=132&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
The real question is, "Why not us?"
If suffering loosens sin's grip on us and causes others to see us differently, if it
places us in good company, keeps us focused on eternity, and frees us to
participate in ministry—why wouldn't we embrace it as necessary to growth?
1 Peter 4:13 ESV
13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice
and be glad when His glory is revealed.
Jesus gave us a wonderful illustration concerning suffering when He reminded us
that after a woman endures pain and suffering to give birth, she forgets about
the agony when her baby is born because the suffering is transformed into glory.
John 16:20b-21 says the same baby who causes pain brings joy.
The heartache, setback, or difficulty that is causing you pain and agony will be
the very thing that will ultimately bring joy.
That which is breaking your heart right now will soon be the delight of your soul—
watch & see!
http://www.usurnsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/comforting-scripture-verses-romans-8-18.jpg
Suffering and glory are the twin truths woven into the fabric of Peter's first epistle.
This should not be surprising, since suffering and glory truly walk hand in hand.

7. Whether or not we realize it, everyone craves glory.
The Biblical definition of "glory" is seen in the Hebrew word chabod, which
means "weighty" or "substantial."
Glory is a top sirloin steak as opposed to cotton candy—something we can sink
our teeth into as opposed to something composed simply of sugar and air.
Man was originally clothed with this glory—the weight of the reality of God.
When Adam sinned, the chabod departed, leaving him empty and exposed
(Genesis 3:7).
Genesis 3:7 ESV
7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And
they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
Yet according to our text, the day is coming when our suffering will be translated
into glory for all eternity.

"But that's in the sweet by-and-by," you say. "What about now?"
Look at the next verse.
http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/wabc/images/cms/30995_1280x720.jpg
1 Peter 4:14 ESV
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of
glory and of God rests upon you (now).
Peter declares that the presence of suffering brings glory.

8. That is radical—completely contrary to everything our flesh tells us.
"If I didn't have to suffer and go through trials, life would be glorious," we say.
Not true!
Adam and Eve lived in a perfect environment.
Check out Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and see if those people are
experiencing glory, substance, or joy.
The world insists that the absence of suffering brings glory.
The Word says the opposite - that the presence of suffering brings glory.
In our fallen, depraved condition, we are unable to differentiate between what is
truly good and bad.
What we think is good and wonderful is often bad and brutal.
What we think is suffering and pain is actually that which brings happiness, joy,
and glory.
Suppose Jon Courson had said to his son Benjamin when he was young, "Benny,
you must keep your room secure and immaculate because each day I'm going
to give you an eight-inch-by-twelve-inch piece of paper to take care of."
"Oh," he would probably have said. "Why is Dad giving me this job? Oh, what a
hassle!"—until the day in college he decides to look more closely at the stack of
papers given to him and discovers that each one represents one hundred shares
of preferred Amazon.com stock.
He's now a billionaire!
http://flabourg.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Amazon-Stock-Price.jpg

9. Turn to John 16, where we see Jesus give an infinitely better illustration of
suffering being transformed into glory.
John 16:20b-21 ESV
20b You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is
giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has
delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human
being has been born into the world.
http://webneel.com/daily/sites/default/files/images/daily/02-2013/23-pure-joy-baby-photography.jpg
When someone tells you she's pregnant, do you say, "Oh no! That's going to be
awful! You're going to start gaining weight and stretching in unbelievable ways.
You'll have to go to the hospital, where you'll sweat and strain. Oh, I'm so sorry!
Of course not!
We look at childbearing as a great privilege and a real joy because we know
that the same baby who brings pain for a short time brings joy for a lifetime.
Peter echoes Jesus in saying that the very thing that causes discomfort—be it a
marriage, job, illness, or finances—is precisely that which will bring glory and
unspeakable joy.
What if we really believed this?
If we truly understood what Jesus taught and what Peter reiterated, we would
look at each obstacle and disappointment as a "preferred stock certificate" that
will one day be transformed into great wealth.
Whether it takes nine months or nine years, we have God's word that the very
thing causing us pain will be that which brings substance and joy.
Jesus knows what He's talking about when it comes to joy.

10. He modeled this for us perfectly.
http://forloveofgodandcountry.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/jesus-carrying-cross.jpg
Hebrews 12:2 ESV
2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, Who for the joy that was
set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right
hand of the throne of God.
Jesus endured the Cross because He knew it was the Cross that would bring joy.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G-aof4zoffk/S8Ptt0D02jI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/kbsIVbvoius/s1600/soldierlance.jpg
In the pain of the Cross, a baby was birthed.
To hasten death, the legs of one being crucified were broken.
No longer able to displace the weight of his body from his wrists and draw air
into his lungs, the victim would die by suffocation.
When the soldiers came to Jesus, however, there was no need to break His legs,
for He had already released His spirit.
Instead, a soldier pierced His side.
As a result of this act, blood and water—the fluids of birth—flowed from His side.

11. Compare this with the account of Genesis 2.
After causing a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, God opened his side and
removed a rib, with which he formed a bride for Adam.
http://agapegeek.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/adam_first-sight-wife.jpg
Just as Adam's bride came from his side; a bride came from the blood and
water that flowed from the side of the Last Adam—Jesus Christ.
Who is this bride? That would be you and me! (see Ephesians 5:25-27).
Ephesians 5:25-27 ESV
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for
her, 26 that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water
with the word, 27 so that He might present the church to Himself in splendor,
without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without
blemish.
Likewise, the struggle you face today—emotional or financial, spiritual or
physical—has the potential to birth something wonderful in your life.
(see James 1)
James 1:2-4 ESV
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you
know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let
steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking
in nothing.
May we be those who do just that.
May we be those who celebrate even the difficulties that come our way,
knowing they are the materials from which the Lord will fashion joy.
May we realize suffering and glory are two sides of the same coin.

12. And, preferred stock that they are, may we invest wisely and spend freely.
1 Peter 4:15 ESV
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a
meddler (a busybody in other men's matters).
It is interesting that Peter places busybodies and murderers in the same
category.
http://www.demophonic.com/lyrics/images/logos/BusyBodyLogo.gif
1 Peter 4:16 ESV
16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify
God in that name.
The word "Christian" only appears three times in the Bible: twice in the Book of
Acts (11:26; 26:28) and once here.
Meaning "little Christ", it was initially a put-down.
The early church, however, said, "That's okay. We'll wear with pride what the
world intends as derision."
Believers have readily claimed it ever since.

7B6UdXLoqKM2VeRtceXX1hN3LjYEzRumIflJ/JESUSCHRIST.jpg

13. 1 Peter 4:16b ESV
16b let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
If we're suffering, our attitude should be "Thank You, Lord, that I'm found worthy
to suffer. I'm in good company. You're freeing me from the sins that used to
strangle me. My vision is refocused on eternity."

1 Peter 4:17 ESV
17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins
with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the Gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:17a ESV
17a For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God;
What does that mean?
Writing this epistle from Rome, Peter is accurately discerning the situation.
As he watches the bizarre behavior of Nero and reads the winds of change,
Peter knows that the judgment that has begun will continue.
When Jesus saved us, we became children of God.
Hallelujah!
But we are not yet perfect, we don’t live perfect lives, we are not yet without sin,
and God may decide that He must chasten us, He must teach us some lessons.
Hebrews 12:5-6 ESV
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by Him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves,
and chastises every son whom He receives.”

14. It seems to be from 1 Peter 4 that God’s chastening can come through the world,
that we're going to suffer at the hands of the world.
So, it sounds like this fiery trial will try us - God can use that as discipline to
straighten out His sons.
Chastening, not to purify us for salvation, but to purify us to live the Christian life
in a manner that would be honoring to our Lord.
http://blog.christianmusicals.net/wp-content/uploads/dance-of-life.jpg
Peter Wallace has some things to add to this idea of judgment beginning with
the household of God.
Copyright © 2002 Peter J. Wallace
For 2,000 years, the judgment of God has been coming upon the household of
God.
The church has endured trials and tribulations and the household of God has
suffered at the hands of wicked men.
Sometimes those wicked men have even come to power inside the church!
Indeed, Peter's citation from Proverbs 11:31 has proven true: "The righteous is
scarcely saved"!
The church has so often been so corrupt and so ensnared by the lures and
temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil, that it is a marvel that any are
saved.

15. We are as brands plucked from the fire, and the soot and smoke still cling to us
more than we would like to imagine.
http://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.M26c4ad53ea0d699231c2eb908de9b016o0&pid=15.1
But if judgment begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not
obey the Gospel of God?
If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the
sinner?
Peter doesn't answer these questions because his hearers know the answer all
too well.
They remember the Flood (see 1 Peter 3:18-22), where God destroyed the
unrighteous in a picture of His final judgment.
They remember the plagues of Egypt which came upon the Pharaoh who
oppressed the people of God.
They remember the warnings of the prophets against those nations who
mistreated God's holy ones.
And they remember the teaching of Jesus who spoke vividly of the destruction
of the wicked in the fires of Hell.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gHrY5lqUfPY/UXXTbIVr7rI/AAAAAAAABxM/E04qBiXx0Gs/s1600/lake-of-fire.jpg

16. You either suffer with Christ, enduring the judgment of God with the Spirit of glory
resting upon you; or you suffer without Christ, and prepare to face the judgment
of God alone, forever!
The destructive power of the flood, the horrific torments of the plagues of Egypt,
the terrifying judgments of the book of Revelation--these were all given by God
to show what the final judgment will look like.
Peter later speaks of these things in 2 Peter 3:8-10.
God is mercifully holding back the final outpouring of His wrath, patiently waiting
until the Gospel shall have worked its glorious purpose.
2 Peter 3:8-10 ESV
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill
His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that
any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the
Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and
the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the Earth and the
works that are done on it will be exposed.
2 Peter 3:8-10 ESV
Note how Peter addresses his hearers (v11-13).
What sort of people ought you to be?
God is bringing the new creation-so how can you live as though this creation is
all that matters?
We look for the new Heaven and the new Earth in which righteousness dwells
and we must live according to that new creation holiness.
http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M46fa55894896d52f90f6b7feae9f72c9H0&w=300&h=185&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
This is why Peter concludes his admonition in 1 Peter 4:19, "Therefore let those
who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while
doing good."

17. You may trust God that these strange trials that you endure are in fact a part of
His creative work.
Your sufferings, insofar as they share in Christ's sufferings, are part of how God is
bringing the New Creation.
Therefore, in the midst of suffering, be diligent to do good.
You may be tired and you may not feel like doing kind and thoughtful things for
someone.
That is precisely the moment of trial.
Will you entrust yourself to a faithful Creator while doing good?
You may be frustrated with that coworker for his laziness or his snide comments.
But will you encourage him anyway?
You may be in pain, but do not let that be an excuse for failing to do good.
In the midst of suffering, in the midst of pain and trial, remember that your future
is a glorious one!
And in this suffering, this judgment that you endure, you are blessed, because
the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you!
Therefore, in the midst of suffering walk in humility and holiness, giving thanks to
God for His great mercy.

18. Hebrews 12:9-29 ESV
9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected
them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For
they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but He disciplines
us for our good, that we may share His holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline
seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of
righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and
make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint
but rather be healed. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness
without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the
grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by
it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau,
who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he
desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to
repent, though he sought it with tears.
A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken
18 For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness
and gloom and a tempest 19 and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose
words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 20 For
they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the
mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses
said, “I tremble with fear.” 22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of
the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal
gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in Heaven,
and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that
speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See that you do not refuse Him Who is speaking. For if they did not escape
when they refused him who warned them on Earth, much less will we escape if
we reject Him Who warns from Heaven. 26 At that time His voice shook the Earth,
but now He has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the Earth but also
the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things
that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things
that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a
kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable
worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:9-29 ESV

19. 1 Peter 4:17a ESV
17a For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God;
Writing this epistle from Rome, Peter is accurately discerning the situation.
As he watches the bizarre behavior of Nero and reads the winds of change, he
knows that the judgment that has begun will continue.
1 Peter 4:17b ESV
4:17b and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not
obey the Gospel of God?
If you think times are tough now, wait until God moves upon a Christ-rejecting
world during the Great Tribulation described in Revelation 6-19.
Yes, it's hard being a Christian—but it's a whole lot harder being a pagan.
The pagan will endure unbelievable difficulty only to end up in hell.
Life is hard, that's just the way it is.
It's hard for everyone.
You're not being picked on.
I'm not being singled out.
It's just life.
Even though it's hard, and even though we have problems, we have access to
the problem-solver, Jesus Christ and we can cast our care upon Him.
1 Peter 4:18 ESV
18 And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and
the sinner?”
(see Matthew 19:24-26).
Matthew 19:24-26 ESV
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. 25 When the disciples heard this,
they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus
looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible.”

20. Because the rich were considered to be especially blessed, the idea is not that
the rich can't be saved.
The idea is that any man getting saved seems impossible.
It is only with God that all things are possible.
Only God can squeeze sinners like us through the eye of a needle (Matthew
19:24).
1 Peter 4:19 ESV
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a
faithful Creator while doing good.
Suffering reminds us to faithfully commit our soul unto our Creator.
Of all the titles for God, Peter could have employed in this section dealing with
suffering, he says, "When you suffer, commit your soul to your Creator."
Why Creator?
God is the Creator of everything, including the situation in which you're suffering.
Nothing can happen that God doesn't allow.
He's the Creator of the person to whom you're married, the person with whom
you work, and the neighbor by whom you live.
He's the Creator of every situation.
Because He's our Creator, because He made the situations and the challenges
around us, we must trust Him with them all.
May we be those who slowly but surely learn to embrace suffering.
May we begin to understand that suffering truly loosens sin's grip on us, causes
others to see us differently, places us in good company, keeps us focused on
eternity, frees us to participate in ministry, allows us to experience glory, and
reminds us to commit our souls unto our Creator faithfully.

21. The Plan of Hope & Salvation
John 3:16 ESV
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
John 14:6 ESV
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.”
Romans 3:23 ESV
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a ESV
23a For the wages of sin is death,
 Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
 Even Jesus, the one who doesn’t deserve death, died in this life to pay the
penalty for our sins.
 The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second death explained in
Revelation 21:8.
Revelation 21:8 ESV
8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the
lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Romans 6:23b ESV
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8 ESV
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.
Revelation 21:7 ESV
7 "The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will
be my son.”
 Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be conquerors.
Romans 10:9-10 ESV
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart
one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

22. Romans 10:13 ESV
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
