Suffering Unjustly
(From Forerunner Commentary)
|
1 Peter 2:19-21 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
Peter is not saying that suffering is a commendable thing. What is commendable is that one has submitted to God's will and that he is suffering, not because he did something wrong, but because he did something right. In addition, he is not striking back, which is what his emotions would lead him to do.

1 Peter 3:18 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
Peter shows us how far the model, Jesus, went in suffering unjustly. It is a high standard, but He went all the way to the death without giving in to His emotions and without allowing Satan to get a hold of Him. Jesus never thought that God was being unfair or unjust in what He was causing or allowing Him to go through.
