Peter has introduced the topic of suffering and covered it from several angles. The point, of course, is that Believer should expect suffering - quite a lot of it, actually - and so we will benefit from as much discussion on this subject as possible.--So that's what we'll hear today- instructions for the suffering Believer.--We began last week by learning that we must embrace suffering, as part of the life of a faithful believer. Then we learned that we must exult in our suffering - not asking for it, or seeking out suffering, but seeing suffering as the way God grows and mature us.
