1 Peter 4:1–3 NKJV 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.1 Peter 4:12–13 NKJV 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.1 Peter 4:19 NKJV 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.What does it Mean to be Like Christ?As Christians++Do we walk on water?++Do we heal blinded eyes?++Do we cast out Demon spirits?++Do we speak with divine authority?Jesus Christ did All of These ThingsHe did it++Without any visible preparation++Without a patternSome believe to be like Christ we must++Pursue of divine power++Manifest the miraculous++Do what Christ did++Find significance through signsIn the Bible Miracles were MinimizedPeople were not impressed++By the sick being healed++Miraculous ProvisionMan Sought for a Reason for BlindnessJohn 9:1–3 NKJV 1 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.This man had a condition++From birth++There was no one to blame++There was no sin to sight++To reveal the work of GodWe are not much different++Born in Sin++Shaped in iniquity++Blinded to God and his plan++God is working on usJohn 9:8–9 NKJV 8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?” 9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.”When God works++There will be a change++There will be a difference++We cannot hide what God has doneIt is not About the MiracleGod is working through us++To reveal His Glory++To show all that He isHebrews 11:6 NKJV 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Miracles Brought DivisionJohn 9:16 NKJV 16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.John 9:25 NKJV 25 He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”Miracles Brought Greater PersecutionJohn 10:25 NKJV 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.John 10:31 NKJV 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.John 5:16 NKJV 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.Peter Reminds us of Christs’ Suffering1 Peter 4:1–2 NKJV 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.Christ Endured SufferingSuffering is++Hardship++Pain++Loneliness++RejectionIsaiah 53:3 NKJV 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.John 1:11–12 NKJV 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:His suffering Increased his UnderstandingHebrews 5:7–8 NKJV 7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.In the flesh++Jesus Prayed++Jesus Cried++Jesus Learned2 Peter 3:15 NKJV 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,Philippians 3:10 NKJV 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,The Mindset of ChristLuke 22:42 NKJV 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”This Mindset++Empowers Obedience++Enable Endurance++Equips Faith1 Peter 4:2 NKJV 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.We Must Live for The Will of GodWhat Does This Mean?Romans 8:5–7 NKJV 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.To Be Like Christ is to Suffer with Him1 Peter 4:12 NKJV 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;The Power of the Cross++Brings Heaven and Earth together++Reveals God’s WillMark 8:34 NKJV 34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.God is Calling us to HimselfNot everyone++Will Hear His Call++Will Answer His Call++Will Want His CallThose that Desire to Come++Will deny himself++Will take up the Cross++Will Follow Him1 Peter 4:13 NKJV 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.The Blessing of SufferingOur Rejoicing is Connected++The extent of our commitment to Christ++The Revelation of His GloryThere is a promise++Of gladness++Of JoyWhen His Glory is Revealed1 Peter 4:19 NKJV 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.Are you Suffering for Christ?Let us++Examine our commitmentMatthew 6:33 NKJV 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Let usExamine our commitment++Do what is GoodLuke 6:45 NKJV 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil.
