Peter encourages Christians to not only anticipate a "fiery trial" but see it as an opportunity as much as a challenge. 
The Christian view of persecution: 
1. Expect it - it's not strange (vs 12) 
2. Rejoice in it - it's Jesus' path (vs 13-14) 
3. Evaluate it - it can glorify God (vs 15-16) 
4. Use it - it will draw you closer to God (vs 17-19)
