Dear Victorious,
Is it true that Christians need to suffer for Jesus? I read passages like 1 Peter 4:1-2, and frankly they scare me. What are we to make of this?

Dear Mort,
No it is not true that Christians need to suffer for Jesus. What Peter is pointing out in that passage is the fact that we must arm ourselves with the same attitude that Jesus had to suffering. Jesus didn't want to suffer any more than you or I would. But He was willing to suffer if that were necessary to fulfill God's will for His life. You and I need to be just as ready --- should it ever be necessary.
