What place do you have for suffering in the Christian life? Is the Christian life all prosperity? Or all suffering? Or something else. As Peter closes his letter, he teaches us to expect suffering now, and glory later. But even in the midst of suffering we are blessed, when we suffer for doing what is good, entrusting our future to our faithful creator.
