Day 1 1 Peter 4:12-19 Keep on rejoicing because your suffering as a Christian is an evidence of your relationship and union with Christ. Verse 13a: “But to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing.” In other words, your sufferings are not only yours; they are also Christ’s. This is cause for rejoicing because it means you are united to Christ in yet another way. Joseph Tson, a Romanian pastor who stood up to Ceausescu’s repressions of Christianity, wrote,” This union with Christ is the most beautiful subject in the Christian life. It means that I am not a lone fighter here: I am an extension of Jesus Christ. When I was beaten in Romania, He suffered in my body. It is not my suffering: I only had the honor to share His sufferings.” When we recognize this important truth, we find one more way that we are one with Him. #247daily
