Now, it is commendable if, because of one’s understanding of God, someone should endure pain through suffering unjustly. But what praise comes from enduring patiently when you have sinned and are beaten for it? But if you endure steadfastly when you’ve done good and suffer for it, this is commendable before God. You were called to this kind of endurance, because Christ suffered on your behalf. He left you an example so that you might follow in his footsteps. He committed no sin, nor did he ever speak in ways meant to deceive. When he was insulted, he did not reply with insults. When he suffered, he did not threaten revenge. Instead, he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He carried in his own body on the cross the sins we committed. He did this so that we might live in righteousness, having nothing to do with sin. By his wounds you were healed. Though you were like straying sheep, you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your lives. (1 Peter 2:19-25, CEB)
We need to stand up for what we know is the way of God. Not follow the crowd and do what society or evangelical Christians say is right.
We will suffer for saying that God’s love is for all and all humanity is included just as they are but that is what we need to do.
Our suffering for standing up and fighting for the rights of God’s children will not compare to Christ’s or to that of the people we are fighting for.
Love like Jesus and help the world see all means all.
Loving People. Loving God.
