1 Peter 2:20-21

After all, what kind of credit is there if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you endure patiently? But if when you do what is right and patiently bear (undeserved) suffering, this finds favor with God. For (as a believer) you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His steps.

Christians around the world and in our own country are suffering because of Christian beliefs. The world may put pressure on people to conform to sin, but our jobs as Christians are to represent Jesus and light. When we do, we expose the error and sin and follow the example of Jesus on this earth. We will be the light in the darkness, and Jesus will be with us.
