Peter viewed suffering Christians as people in a battle. Suffering is a weapon that can be wielded for good or evil, depending on who holds the sword. In the enemy’s hands, it is a heat-seeking missile sent to destroy us: Suffering seeks to disorient us so that we will lose our hope, and fall away from our faith. However, in God’s hands, suffering is a weapon for refinement and for glory through enhanced intimacy with Him. Please open your Bible to First Peter chapter one, and listen as Dylan Ocorr begins his study of verses thirteen through twenty-five.
