(Different) Hope In The Midst Of Suffering

We all need this practical message today in one form or another as we face trials. Peter does not promise that following Jesus will exempt a believer from hardship. Far from it. He says that we should not be surprised at the fiery ordeals as if they are abnormal. Peter instead points us to Christ and the glory that is promised in heaven there are so many lessons in this letter that we can learn that will only help us to be strengthened and encourage us to be different in this world.
