Reading:
1 Peter 2:13-25
It is interesting in the world today. Many are standing up against the different issues of our day. The "Occupy" movement is among the newest ones that are trying to set things right for those that suffer. They disobey the laws, become disrespectful to property, and other acts that are not good.
St. Peter gives us a different way of seeing the world and how to stand against it. It is by following the rules, being obedient to the government. It is doing this you silence the ignorance of foolish people. We are to be true disciples of Christ that take His example as the way to be.
Jesus did not deserve to be tormented, mocked, spit at or any of these things. He especially did not deserve to die on the cross. Yet He did it without a word being uttered about how unfair it was. He went willing to die on the cross so that He could administer His saving life to you and to me.
This is the example that we are to follow.
