Corrective and safeguarding measures inflicted on the body usually feel unpleasant at the moment but endurable when one considers what he/she is being saved from; take chemotherapy for example. In the same breadth, Peter, in this passage, exhorts us to endure suffering knowing God has a perfect goal in the end. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to urge us to rejoice in our suffering because God is saving us through our suffering!
