Gazingstock or "theatrizo" in Greek meaning:

2. to set forth as a spectacle, expose to contempt

VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Sometimes, we are publicly exposed to insults, abuse and distress

"Sometimes being yourselves a gazingstock, publicly exposed to insults and abuse and distress,"

Moses, can become son of Pharaoh's daughter but he refused it and bore the shame

Hebrews 11:26 (Amplified Bible)

11:26 He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense).

Psalms 69:9 (Amplified Bible)

69:9 For zeal for Your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches and insults of those who reproach and insult You have fallen upon me.

Romans 15:3 (Amplified Bible)

15:3 For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to His own interests]; but, as it is written, The reproaches and abuses of those who reproached and abused you fell on Me.

Don't be ashamed when we are insulted for CHRIST's sake because the LORD turns every curses and insults we receive here on earth into blessing.

Deuteronomy 23:5 (Amplified Bible)

23:5 Nevertheless, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the Lord your God loves you.

Nehemiah 13:2 (Amplified Bible)

13:2 For they met not the Israelites with food and drink but hired Balaam to curse them; yet our God turned the curse into a blessing.

Psalms 109:28-31 (God's Word)

109:28 They may curse, but you will bless. Let those who attack me be ashamed, but let me rejoice.

109:29 Let those who accuse me wear disgrace as though it were clothing. Let them be wrapped in their shame as though it were a robe.

109:30 With my mouth I will give many thanks to the Lord. I will praise him among many people,

109:31 because he stands beside needy people to save them from those who would condemn them to death.

B. Sometimes, we claim fellowship and common cause with others who were to so treated

"and sometimes claiming fellowship and making common cause with others who were so treated"

Sometimes we suffer with those who suffer. Our response is totally different and opposite from what the world normally expects and what their normal responses do.

Colossians 1:24 (God's Word)

1:24 I am happy to suffer for you now. In my body I am completing whatever remains of Christ's sufferings. I am doing this on behalf of his body, the church.

1 Peter 1:6 (God's Word)

1:6 You are extremely happy about these things, even though you have to suffer different kinds of trouble for a little while now.

1 Peter 4:13 (God's Word)

4:13 but be happy as you share Christ's sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory.

Example of Onesiphorus:

2 Timothy 1:16-18 (God's Word)

1:16 May the Lord be merciful to the family of Onesiphorus. He often took care of my needs and wasn't ashamed that I was a prisoner.

1:17 When he arrived in Rome, he searched hard for me and found me.

1:18 May the Lord grant that Onesiphorus finds mercy when that day comes. You know very well that he did everything possible to help me in Ephesus.

Onesiphorus name in Greek means "profit bearer" how fitting it is to bear all the profit of the curses and insults he was able to get during times of Apostle Paul.

Another example is Stephen: he died well in front of Saul, that turned into Apostle Paul: (a cursed person that turned into blessed person)

Acts 7:54-60 (Amplified Bible)

7:54 Now upon hearing these things, they [the Jews] were cut to the heart and infuriated, and they ground their teeth against [Stephen].

7:55 But he, full of the Holy Spirit and controlled by Him, gazed into heaven and saw the glory (the splendor and majesty) of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand;

7:56 And he said, Look! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand!

7:57 But they raised a great shout and put their hands over their ears and rushed together upon him.

7:58 Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him, and the witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

7:59 And while they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, Lord Jesus, receive and accept and welcome my spirit!

7:60 And falling on his knees, he cried out loudly, Lord, fix not this sin upon them [lay it not to their charge]! And when he had said this, he fell asleep [in death].

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise You LORD JESUS and Thank You very much because You turned every insult and curses for me into blessing and the curses and insults falls to you because You loved me.
