1 Peter 4:12 & 13 Rejoice In Partaking of Christ's Sufferings; That, When His Glory Shall Be Revealed, You May Be Glad Also With Exceeding Joy. |
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed [Apokalupsis: removal of a covering or veil], ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Suffering is one of many forms of temptation. When we suffer, we are also drawn away by our own desires. God does His will through us. We cannot do His will unless it is He who does that work in us. When He does His will in us, then we suffer, because the world hates Jesus and hates everything that He does. We could resist God, and He would not force us to do His will. We could be disobedient, but we can choose to obey and suffer with Christ for doing righteousness, or actually for allowing God to do His work through us by the power of His grace. His glory is revealed when we suffer for doing right. His glory will be revealed to an even greater extent at the day of the final manifestation of the sons of God. Apocalypse (two Greek words, apokalupsis, and apokalupto that are closely related) Literally, it means the removal of a covering or a veil. God often provides the interpretation of Scripture within Scripture. There is one Scripture that gives us the key to the word, veil. Hebrew 10:19-20 says, Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; Author/Compiler Last updated: Dec, 2010 ![]() Bread Crumbs Main Foundations Home Meaning Bible Dictionary History Toons & Vids Quotations Similar
