“GLORY IS OURS!”
Romans 8:18 
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

Do we really understand what it means to suffer for our faith? Someone smirks at us when we bow our heads to thank God for our food and we feel we are being persecuted. We may even brag at our Bible study group about our courage in the face of these “vicious” attacks. (Oh, give me a break!)
I am in the process of reading a book on the lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. Perhaps you are already aware that all of the disciples of Jesus, except John, died as martyrs. John was tortured by being dipped in hot oil, but survived. What kind of persecution have you endured lately?
Archaeologists have unearthed death chambers under St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The most hideous was the place where Peter was reported to have been held chained to a post for nine months.
So what happened during those nine months of darkness and suffering? God’s glorious light shone through in the most magnificent way. History tells us the amazing fact that in spite of all the torture, Peter led his jailers, keepers, and forty-seven others to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Lord, may I demonstrate that same courage!
May God richly bless you by your words and actions!
