Praise, Honor, and Glory!

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. 1 Peter 1:6, 7, 8a

If I were to unpack everything from this long sentence, we could be here for a day or two. What I was led to this morning was the part about praise, honor, and glory. What does Peter mean by 'may be found to'? Well there is this prophecy from our Lord Jesus found in Matthew 24:30 where all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. Now, we do not want to be mourning our Lord's return, so Peter tells of our current trials and how they prove the genuineness of our faith, and we gain the result you can read in the words of our verses today. Therefore!

Praise, honor, and glory to our Lord Jesus who returns to us on the clouds of heaven!

Amen,
