14.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…

How has suffering for Christ’s sake affected you, do you feel Christ has neglected you? How is
waiting for Christ affecting you, are you tired, wanting to give up? If your answers are yes, then
you are exactly where Peter’s recepients were at the time of writing. Do not personalize your
suffering, Peter says you are not the only one, there are some going through worse
circumstances than you, but Christ is in control. Also, Peter provides an asurance that Christ
return is certain, He is not slow, but giving chance for others to repent just like you did. Never lose five
minutes before the waiting is over.
