The entire Epistle of I Peter was an exhortation to trust & obey…written by a man called The Apostle of Hope. Peter explained the purpose in the pain…the significance in our suffering…and the aim of our affliction & anguish was to look to Jesus as our model to follow in preserving through all suffering. With Peter’s encouragement in the end being, we will learn the greatest lesson of all… trust & obedience.
