Living Hope: Endurance for Sharing Christ’s Sufferings

1 Peter calls Christians to endure suffering and persecution by embracing our new identity as God’s holy people and lovingly bearing witness to Christ as we await our future hope. In this letter the Apostle Peter is cheering Christians on to follow Jesus even through suffering. He exhorts us to endure opposition and persevere through persecution because Christ is our living hope.
