‘Don’t be Surprised!
That first line of this verse written by the Apostle Peter is of great comfort to many of us who have gone through life and faced the pains, fire and darkness that pops up out of no where?
We can think on Job and how he was assaulted by Satan and then his friends, who thought they were right! Nothing much has changed over the thousands of years with the human mind in relation to thinking it knows better!
But we live in the New Covenant and to share in the suffering of Jesus, is a privilege and should not be a problem, but it is still a problem to many of us again and again?
1 Peter 4:12-19, Acts 5:41, Philippians 3:9-10, Jude 1:24.
