Questions for the week
Describe a time you felt persecuted or experienced suffering for your faith. How did you respond to that persecution and suffering?
Read 1 Peter 3: 8-22. What does Peter encourage us to do in the midst of suffering? Why does he encourage us to do that?
Read Daniel 6. What happens to Daniel in the middle of unjust suffering? How does Daniel respond? Why do you think Daniel could respond the way he did? How does the chapter end?
Following the advice of Peter, who is someone you can do good to this week?
Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith. Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility. For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.
