23.01.19 “Honoring God in Suffering?” (1 Peter 2:16-22)

 

Have you ever stood on the shoreline of the ocean watching the waves as they come crashing in? It's powerful, isn't it? Probably you could not resist the urge to run out and chase the waves or at last stand about ankle deep as the waves rise up on the beach. Do you remember the pull of the water around your feet, eroding the sand under your feet, as the wave returns back out into the ocean? Stand there for a moment, remembering that feeling and ask yourself this question: is that a picture of what it feels like as society erodes all around us, as we watch the moral and ethical implosion?  We've been challenged in the past few days, by Peter's words written 2000 years ago, to Christians in the Roman empire who were living under great persecution coming at them from every direction.
