Peter makes it clear that if we suffer unjustly, we will be rewarded by God. We have the chance to endure it, allow it to make us better, and actually use it as a Godly influence upon others.
Christ Jesus is our example of one Who suffered without deserving it. The prophet Isaiah described it this way … “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, He did not open His mouth..” [Is. 53:7]
Yet God exalted Him above all else. Christ put His fate into the hands of His Heavenly Father. We should also.
