Victorious through Suffering 

I Peter 3:18-22

We have all experienced suffering for one reason or another.  The universal feeling towards that suffering is often that suffering is a negative.  However, when we see God's people and especially His Son suffering for righteousness sake we can know that God's good plan is at work.  It was Jesus suffering that ultimately brought us all victory!
