083. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 26: Suffering—the Challenge to Endure

1 Peter 5:5-14

Hope is the thread that runs through the entirety of this epistle, and it goes all the way to the end. In the concluding statements, Peter instructs us believers to continue in the daily disciplines listed here, to understand the duration of our suffering, and to keep our eyes on the final destination. May we be able to say as Paul did that none of these things move us when we are faced with suffering. When we have the hope spoken of here, we will surely be filled with peace as he wishes in his final verse.
