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.

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.
