“For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.”
How are we going to respect an unjust authority figure? By enduring suffering. When I am under the authority of someone who is unjust, I will eventually be treated unjustly. I should respond graciously. I need to be mindful of God. I need to remember that I am not the first one to suffer injustice. When I go through a trial, my natural response is to think that I have it bad and that no one else is suffering like me. When I am treated unjustly, I must remember Christ, who suffered for me, and I must endure.
