Sermon Notes: Encouragement in Suffering 1 Peter 3:8-12


I. Right attitude
II. Right motive
III. Right standard
"The simple fact is that love of God and love of man go hand in hand; the one cannot exist without the other.  The simplest test of the reality of the Christianity of a man or a church is whether or not it makes them love their fellow-men" William Barclay
"It is easy to lose the sense of pity and still easier to be satisfied with a sentimentalism which feels a moment's comfortable sorrow and does nothing.  Pity is of the very essence of God and compassion of the very being of Jesus Christ; a pity so great that God sent his only Son to die for men, a compassion so intense that it took Christ on the Cross.  There can be no Christianity without compassion."  William Barclay
