As the apostle concludes his letter, he focuses on leadership within the church. It is interesting to see that Peter is also an elder in a local church.

While this letter is preparing Christians for persecution from Rome, Peter reminds all of us who the real enemy is: Satan. Look out! He's seeking to devour.   

In conclusion, may we hold these words close to our hearts: "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen"
