Extraordinary Motivation

Fear is not the ultimate motivation. Temporary joy is just as bad. What will motivate you when you are suffering? This was the challenge facing Peter as he wrote to his scattered audience. Extraordinary suffering calls for extraordinary motivation. To his dear suffering friends, he writes a letter of encouragement, reminding them of their eternal bounty in Christ. Suffering is the precursor to glory! Time is the runway to eternity. Pain ushers in bliss. Tears open the way to endless joy! No other motivation is powerful enough to power you and I through the fallen condition of life on this planet.
