Suffering as a Christian
The idea of suffering as a Christian may not seem relevant to us today, yet Peter writes that we are not to be surprised when it happens. Alistair Begg points out that the perspective we adopt and attitude we display in response to suffering will demonstrate to others the difference that knowing God makes. The Christian’s response to suffering should prompt others to ask us how it is that we can have such a perspective in the face of difficult trials.
