Our study today takes us into verses one through three of First Peter chapter four. Though suffering is the primary subject Peter is dealing with he touches on a couple of important ideas that relate to this difficult issue. He begins by making Jesus the standard of the faith and that we must arm ourselves with the same mind that defined Jesus. We are to die to sin in a similar manner as Jesus died for sin. Peter goes on to teach some points on the Christian call to live the crucified life. This lesson will stir your soul.

First Peter 3:1-6 are the verses we will study in today’s lesson. In these verses Peter will address some very important issues about godly womanhood in general and specifically on godly wives.

In keeping with our study of First Peter we come to a portion of his teaching in chapter 2 verses 21-22 that address the subject of suffering. I know that suffering is not a happy topic, so we are prone to avoid it like a plague. Yet suffering is a reality from which we cannot escape. This means that it is very wise for us to learn about suffer so that we can be victorious through it when it does come our way. In this study we will learn how we are to suffer as true followers of Jesus. You will be challenged by this lesson.

For the last 41 weeks we have been studying The Radical Jesus. We learned that Jesus is absolutely radical and that all those who would be true followers of Jesus are called to be like Jesus–to be Christlike. The simple conclusion to the fact that Jesus is radical is that His followers should be radical like Jesus. Today we conclude this study by bringing some practical application from what we have learned. Next week we will begin a new teaching series.

Today we are going to look at the sacrifice Christians are called to live out on a daily basis and the great sacrifices that come into our lives at various times. From the moment people become bona fide followers of Jesus they are called to live an uncompromising life of loving devotion to Him which will entail sacrifice in one form or another. Though this will be a challenging message, it will also be very encouraging.

In today’s lesson we will look at some practical ways how genuine Christians are to sacrifice their lives for Jesus. We will learn how Christ’s life is the perfect example and standard of how true followers of Jesus are to live. We will dig into a couple of Christ’s parables that teach us what it means to sacrifice ourselves for Jesus. Then we will examine a little of Paul’s teaching on the matter. In this fallen world suffering and sacrifice are realities from which nobody can escape. The question is, “Who will we sacrifice and suffer for.” This question is clearly answered in a very practical way.

Last week we began digging into the wonderful subject of divine compassion. The radical nature of Christ’s compassion towards the rebel human race is staggering and beyond comprehension. Yet we should seek to comprehend His compassion to the best of our ability. Last week’s study ended with a brief glimpse at how God’s compassion is interwoven into His omniscience (all-knowing). I will pick up where we left off last week to delve deeper in the correlation between God’s omniscience and compassion. You will be enlightened.
