1 Peter 4:12,13

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

Jesus is the first among many brethren.  Jesus endured trials and had tribulation, but He always overcame the obstacles and finished His path.  As believers, we realize that we will have opposition because of who we are in Christ.  We partake in the suffering of Christ and carry on His mission here on earth.
