It’s one of those chapters that feels gentle and sharp at the same time. Soft like wool on the skin, but with a little thorn hiding in it. And honestly, that’s fitting, because Peter wrote to people walking through fire yet told them to answer with peace. Kinda wild.

It is the main reason Christians have hope and the foundation of the early Church. The New Testament says that Jesus (the Messiah) was killed by crucifixion during the time of Pontius Pilate, died, was buried, and came back to life on the third day.
