Tim Keller | September 26, 1993
The theme of the whole book of 1 Peter is about how a Christian can face troubles and suffering in such a way that it turns us into something splendid, instead of crushing us.
In the Christian life, suffering and glory are inextricably bound up together, because our great forerunner, our great pioneer and savior Jesus Christ, came to glory through suffering. As a result, that is the pattern for all of us. Suffering and glory are bound together.
This Month's Featured Book
This month, as a thank you for your gift, we’ll send you two copies of Making Sense of God. We hope it provides a way for you to do a small act to share the gospel—and we’re trusting that God will provide opportunities for you to give one or both books to people in your life who are searching for truth.
