First Peter 4:18-19 are the verses we will tackle today. Peter is still on the subject of suffering for Jesus and this will take us into a couple of very challenging directions. The first being Peter’s statement that it is hard for the righteous to be saved, and then, what the end will be for those who die without Christ. We will also get into the dimension that we are to do good, not only in times of easy and peace, but even in times of great difficulty and persecution. You need to listen to this podcast.

Our lesson today will take us into First Peter 4:12-15. In these verses Peter will address a little more deeply the subject of suffering, but his emphasis will be upon suffering for Jesus. We are told not to be surprised at the fiery trials that comes our way. One important point that the apostle makes about overcoming through our suffering is to have a heart that is filled with gratitude for the salvation Jesus has freely given us. We will close the podcast by applying Peter’s practical teaching that all true followers of Jesus should never be guilty of murder, theft, gossip or any kind criminal activity.

Last week we studied First Peter 4:7-9. Verse 7 begins with, “The end of all things is near” and Peter continues his thought through verse 11. We will study verses 10-11 today where he presents a simple, idea that since the end of all things is near we should use our gifts to serve others. So we will look at what it means to serve others through the various gifts that the Lord gives to His people. This is a very necessary lesson for all those who want to obey the Lord’s command to love others as Jesus loves us by faithfully serving others.

Today we will study 1 Pe. 4:7 that begins with, “The end of all things is near” and end at verse nine.

We will only examine the first three points this week and leave the fourth for our next lesson. These are some challenging issues that are very practical for those who want to be an authentic follower of Jesus. Since the end of all things is near we should want to know how to live prepared and this Peter clearly addresses.

Though suffering is the primary subject Peter is dealing with he touches on a couple of important ideas that relate to this difficult issue.

Peter goes on to teach some points on the Christian call to live the crucified life. This lesson will stir your soul.

In keeping with our study of First Peter we come to a portion of his teaching in chapter 2 verses 21-22 that address the subject of suffering. I know that suffering is not a happy topic, so we are prone to avoid it like a plague. Yet suffering is a reality from which we cannot escape. This means that it is very wise for us to learn about suffer so that we can be victorious through it when it does come our way. In this study we will learn how we are to suffer as true followers of Jesus. You will be challenged by this lesson.
