This echoes <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2</a>, where Christians are encouraged to consider it pure joy when facing trials. The early church faced persecution, and this call to rejoice would have been a radical departure from the natural human response to suffering.that you share in the sufferings of Christ Sharing in Christ's sufferings means participating in the same kind of trials and persecutions that Jesus endured. This concept is rooted in the idea of fellowship with Christ, as seen in <a href="/philippians/3-10.htm">Philippians 3:10</a>. The early Christians understood that suffering for their faith was a way to identify with Jesus, who suffered for humanity's redemption.so that you may be overjoyed The future promise of joy is a recurring theme in the New Testament. This joy is not just a temporary feeling but a profound, eternal state that believers will experience. It is a joy that surpasses current trials and is rooted in the hope of what is to come.at the revelation of His glory The revelation of Christ's glory refers to His second coming, when He will be revealed in full majesty and power. This is a fulfillment of prophecies such as those found in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a> and <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>.

The word rendered "inasmuch as" (which occurs also in <a href="/2_corinthians/8-12.htm" title="For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man has, and not according to that he has not.">2Corinthians 8:12</a>) seems to mean, "in proportion as:" "the more nearly you are made to share Christ's sufferings the more you should rejoice." In the Acts of St. Probus (a Cappadocian), when, after many other tortures, the judge ordered them to heat some nails and run them through his hands, the martyr exclaims, "Glory to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, who hast even deigned to let my hands be pierced for Thy name's sake!"Christ's sufferings.--Rather, the sufferings of the Christ. (Comp. Note on <a href="/1_peter/1-11.htm" title="Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.">1Peter 1:11</a>.)That--i.e., "in order that." This is to be attached to "think it not strange, but rejoice"--"in order that at the revelation of His glory also (as now, in the sharing of His sufferings) ye may rejoice (the word is the same), exulting." Such a recognition of the meaning of suffering, such a rejoicing in suffering now, is a sure means to rejoicing in glory also hereafter.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_peter/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings. St. Peter speaks in stronger language; he repeats the Lord's words in <a href="/matthew/5-12.htm">Matthew 5:12</a>. Christians should learn to rejoice in persecution; they must rejoice in so far as, in proportion as (καθό), they are partakers of Christ's sufferings (see <a href="/2_corinthians/9-10.htm">2 Corinthians 9:10</a>; <a href="/philippians/3-10.htm">Philippians 3:10</a>; <a href="/hebrews/13-13.htm">Hebrews 13:13</a>). Suffering meekly borne draws the Christian nearer to Christ, lifts him, as on a cross, nearer to the crucified Lord; but this it does only when he looks to Jesus in his suffering, when the eye of faith is fixed upon the cross of Christ. Then faith unites the sufferings of the disciple with the sufferings of his Lord; he is made a partaker of Christ's sufferings; and so far as suffering has that blessed result, in such measure he must rejoice in his sufferings. That, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy; literally, that in the revelation of Ms glory also ye may rejoice exulting. The word for "exulting," ἀγαλλιώμενοι, corresponds with that used in <a href="/1_peter/1-6.htm">1 Peter 1:6</a> and in <a href="/matthew/5-12.htm">Matthew 5:12</a> (χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε). Joy in suffering now is the earnest of the great joy of the redeemed at the revelation of that glory which they now see through a glass darkly. <a href="/commentaries/1_peter/4-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But ἀλλὰ (alla) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_235.htm">Strong's 235: </a> But, except, however.
