“For the Sake of Christ”

BIG IDEA: The opposition and suffering Christians face is not for nothing— it’s ultimately for the sake of Christ.

*3 encouragements in the face of opposition for Christ:

• To suffer for the sake of Christ is a proof of faith in Christ.
• To suffer for the sake of Christ is a privilege of the Christian life.
• To suffer for the sake of Christ is a participation in the same conflict as other Christians.
