Christlikeness

Pastor Bill Bush · Jul 19, 2021

Drawing from 1 Peter 3, Pastor Bill teaches that Christian suffering — the kind that comes from faithfully following Jesus — is not something to dodge but an opportunity to embrace. When believers suffer for doing good, they experience a peace that defies understanding, they become most Christlike, and they open doors to share their hope with others. The key is learning to fight from the victory Christ has already won, not for a victory still in doubt, and to respond to opposition with gentleness rather than defensiveness, just as Jesus resolutely set His face toward Jerusalem.

The book of Revelation is not primarily a book of fear or a debate manual for prophecy enthusiasts — it is a letter of hope, revealing how God wraps up history and delivers those who belong to Him. Its central purpose, stated plainly in Revelation 1:3, is that knowing what is coming next — the rapture, the tribulation, the return of Christ, and the new creation — should produce an eager expectation to be like Jesus and urgently change how His followers live today.
