Questions to Consider:

1. Read Hebrews 1, then consider: what does the author of Hebrews tell us about Jesus? Why is his message better?
2. Read 1 Peter 2:9-12. What does Peter mean when he says that his readers were once "not a people"?
3. How do God's promises affect our suffering? Is your answer actually informing the way you respond to the world around you?
4. How does God's eternality relate to our suffering? What "bridges the gap" between his timelessness and our present struggle against sin?
5. How is it helpful to read Psalm 102 as if the Davidic king is its speaker? How does this Psalm help you come to the Father in prayer?
