As the apostle to the circumcision, Peter had a concern for his brethren. These converts were passing through trials, and, in the First Epistle, he seeks to encourage them. He had learnt that the way to glory is through trial.

Those to whom he writes were being tried for their faith, chapter 1, their service, chapter 2, for being a Christian, chapter 3, and they were reproached for the name of Christ, chapter 4.

As in all second Epistles, Peter teaches us the conditions that will emerge in the last days. In this way, it is of particular interest to us as it is evident that last days are upon us.

May the Lord guide and lead us to peruse the great truths in these Epistles.
