1 Peter 3-5

It took me almost 20 minutes to read this passage.  We will suffer. That is the message from Paul that Peter repeats at the end of chapter 4.  When we suffer Peter gives us a holy instruction as the proper resaponse in those situations. It is not what we want to hear, but as Christians it is exactly what we need to hear. Peter tells us to do two things; keep trusting God to handle the situation. Keep doing the good things that God has prepared for us to do.
