Don't be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come to test you as though something strange were happening to you; but REJOICE inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ that you may be overjoyed when His Glory is revealed. IF YOU ARE INSULTED BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF CHRIST, YOU ARE BLESSED, FOR THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD RESTS ON YOU! 1Peter 4:12-14
