1 Peter 3: Suffering for Doing Good (v.8/13-22)

“What he's trying to say is, listen, you need to be able to shine Jesus, even despite however, whatever your situation is. … Do you see what he's calling these women to? Make sure you put Jesus ahead of all things. Suffer for doing good, and he knows he's asking something difficult of him. It wasn't like an easy thing. He's asking them as Christians not to just be oppressed. What he's actually saying is be impressive. Show Jesus in the midst of your dark situation so that the culture will come to see the light of Jesus Christ.”
