glory in the future

1 Peter 1:10-12

1 Peter 1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and carefully investigated.
1 Peter 1:11 They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Breath of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
1 Peter 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Sacred Breath sent from heaven — angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.

glory in the future

The prophets who predicted Christ’s suffering and glory attest to the inheritance of his followers as well. Just as Jesus suffered, and is now glorified, so all believers who suffer now will see glory in the future.

LORD, help us to persevere through the times of testing so that the glory that is our living hope shines through.
