Big Picture: suffering persecution and Christian discipleship are tied together. In fact, it’s God’s
will for all Christians.
1. When Jesus was persecuted, he submitted to God’s will. So must we.
2. When Jesus was persecuted, he witnessed to himself as the Messiah and future divine
judge. So must we.
3. In contrast, when Peter was persecuted, he denied Jesus. So do we.
4. Peter’s reinstatement: a portrait of God’s gracious forgiveness (John 21:15-19)
