A Partnership in Suffering
Commentators explain that suffering for your faith is a form of deep "participation" or partnership in Christ's own sufferings. Instead of being a strange or shocking event, it is an honor and a sign that the world recognizes Christ in you. This identification with Jesus is the primary reason believers are called to rejoice in their trials.
