Smyrna was called to share in the sufferings of Christ, but also in His life. And we have been called with the same high calling. When Peter and the other apostles were imprisoned in Acts 5:41, they “departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.” “For to this you were called,” Peter says, “because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.” To suffer for Christ is a privilege, and to share in His sufferings is a calling.
