As Christians, what reason do we have to hope in a hostile world? How can we respond to unjust suffering? How can we handle the pressure of living in a post-Christian society? Peter's letter to his beleaguered fellow Christians shows that then, as now, the answer lies in who we are in Christ. We belong to God. We were bought with a price. So we not only have hope in tough times, but we can become eloquent witnesses to His power as we share the reason for the hope which we have within us.
