04.26.26: Listen to Peter: When Suffering Is a Credit

About this episode

Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons discusses the distinction between different types of suffering in the context of following Jesus.

Not all suffering is created equal. On the fourth Sunday of Easter, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons opens a new four-week series — Listen to Peter: Notes on Doing Christianity — with 1 Peter 2:19–25. Peter draws a hard line between the suffering that's just consequence and the suffering that's a credit. If you ache because you've done wrong, that's growing up. But if you ache because you've followed Jesus into a world that doesn't want him, that's looking like Jesus. Keep your eyes on the cross, church. This is not the end. #ListenToPeter #NotesOnDoingChristianity #1Peter2 #SufferingForChrist #FollowingJesus #FourthSundayOfEaster #EasterSeason #ChristianWitness #ChristTheShepherd #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons
