A Great Salvation at All Times!

We have a great salvation that incites deep joy even in the midst of hardship and suffering. Far from a gospel that teaches healing from all diseases, wealth and a life that works smoothly, Peter writes to believers about the necessity of being grieved by various trials. Christian love for Jesus is not hindered by hardship nor by the inability to see Jesus. It looks forward, being informed by historical events that unfold mysteries the prophets longed deeply and sought intently to understand.
