1 Peter 3:14-16–Honor Christ

1 Peter 3:14-16–"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed.  Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame."

I admit that this is a hefty passage, dense with theological weight.  There is more than one sermon in this passage alone.  That being said, the general theme of it seems to be pretty clear: stay true to the gospel of Christ and live our your faith with integrity.  Everyone who reads this blog knows that I could write more (yes, I wrote could), but truthfully this passage really speaks for itself.  Read it again. Meditate on what it says.  And have a blessed day!
