What it Means to Be a Christian

“My dear people, you must not think it unaccountable that you should be tested by fire.  There is nothing extraordinary in what has happened to you.  If you can have some share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because you will enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed.  It is a blessing for you when they insult you for bearing the name of Christ, because it means that you have the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God resting on you.”
