Take<00:41:01.480><c> a</c><00:41:01.539><c> look</c><00:41:01.639><c> at</c><00:41:01.760><c> 1</c><00:41:01.940><c> Peter</c><00:41:02.099><c> 4,</c><00:41:02.460><c> verse</c><00:41:02.639><c> 12.</c>

00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:05.920
This<00:41:03.099><c> is</c><00:41:03.380><c> a</c><00:41:03.519><c> tremendous</c><00:41:04.480><c> verse.</c>

00:41:06.300 --> 00:41:08.219
That's<00:41:06.579><c> suffering</c><00:41:06.860><c> into</c><00:41:07.079><c> an</c><00:41:07.320><c> incredible</c><00:41:07.780><c> perspective.</c>

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.719
back<00:41:20.420><c> and</c><00:41:20.579><c> say,</c><00:41:21.139><c> what</c><00:41:21.340><c> is</c><00:41:21.699><c> this?</c>

00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:24.480

00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.500
What?

00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:26.900
I<00:41:25.920><c> have</c><00:41:26.079><c> to</c><00:41:26.199><c> deal</c><00:41:26.300><c> with</c><00:41:26.539><c> this?</c>

00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:28.239

00:41:28.460 --> 00:41:30.099
Don't<00:41:28.739><c> think</c><00:41:28.940><c> it's</c><00:41:29.219><c> strange.</c>

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:31.320
It's<00:41:30.460><c> normal.</c>

00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:32.699
It's<00:41:31.800><c> expected.</c>

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.059
This<00:41:36.079><c> is</c><00:41:36.400><c> our</c><00:41:36.619><c> common</c><00:41:36.940><c> plight</c><00:41:37.219><c> as</c><00:41:37.460><c> well</c><00:41:37.679><c> when</c><00:41:37.820><c> we're</c><00:41:37.960><c> going</c>

Why<00:41:39.059><c> now?</c>

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:41.659
This<00:41:39.639><c> is</c><00:41:39.820><c> not</c><00:41:39.980><c> a</c><00:41:40.219><c> convenient</c><00:41:40.519><c> time,</c><00:41:40.840><c> God.</c>

00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:01.940
If<00:42:00.219><c> we're</c><00:42:00.380><c> really</c><00:42:00.619><c> honest</c><00:42:00.880><c> with</c><00:42:01.039><c> ourselves,</c><00:42:01.320><c> when</c><00:42:01.460><c> is</c><00:42:01.659><c> a</c><00:42:01.760><c> good</c>

It<00:42:05.800><c> never</c><00:42:06.079><c> is.</c>

00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.880

00:42:10.260 --> 00:42:12.300
It's<00:42:10.559><c> meant</c><00:42:10.860><c> to</c><00:42:11.320><c> put</c><00:42:11.539><c> pressure</c><00:42:11.920><c> on</c><00:42:12.139><c> us.</c>

00:42:12.300 --> 00:42:16.000

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:27.699
Why<00:42:27.280><c> now?</c>

00:42:27.699 --> 00:42:31.059
What<00:42:28.179><c> we're</c><00:42:28.340><c> really</c><00:42:28.659><c> saying</c><00:42:28.840><c> is</c><00:42:29.039><c> we</c><00:42:29.139><c> don't</c><00:42:29.360><c> need</c><00:42:29.559><c> it</c><00:42:30.380><c> and</c><00:42:30.679><c> we</c>

00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:37.840
Well,<00:42:36.719><c> maybe.</c>

00:42:38.659 --> 00:42:43.659
God<00:42:39.000><c> does</c><00:42:39.519><c> seem</c><00:42:39.780><c> to</c><00:42:40.000><c> use</c><00:42:40.380><c> trials</c><00:42:40.780><c> to</c><00:42:41.119><c> correct</c><00:42:41.440><c> and</c><00:42:41.820><c> tutor</c><00:42:42.179><c> his</c>

00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:54.179
Hebrews<00:42:49.800><c> reminds</c><00:42:50.260><c> us</c><00:42:50.519><c> that</c><00:42:50.820><c> correction</c><00:42:51.320><c> is</c><00:42:52.340><c> sometimes</c><00:42:52.800><c> necessary</c><00:42:53.460><c> as</c><00:42:53.960><c> a</c>

00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:30.280
Like<00:43:27.159><c> Peter,</c><00:43:27.719><c> he</c><00:43:27.900><c> went</c><00:43:28.099><c> through</c><00:43:28.360><c> suffering</c><00:43:28.639><c> in</c><00:43:28.820><c> his</c><00:43:28.960><c> own</c><00:43:29.139><c> life,</c><00:43:30.079><c> in</c>

00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:39.039
Can<00:43:35.519><c> you</c><00:43:35.579><c> imagine</c><00:43:35.860><c> the</c><00:43:36.179><c> stress</c><00:43:36.980><c> having</c><00:43:37.579><c> done</c><00:43:37.880><c> that</c><00:43:38.179><c> and</c><00:43:38.340><c> knowing</c><00:43:38.719><c> that</c>

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:48.780
And<00:43:42.699><c> now</c><00:43:43.039><c> he</c><00:43:43.219><c> would</c><00:43:43.360><c> have</c><00:43:43.480><c> gone</c><00:43:43.619><c> through</c><00:43:43.900><c> trials</c><00:43:44.400><c> with</c><00:43:44.699><c> the</c><00:43:44.880><c> impending</c><00:43:45.940><c> persecutions</c><00:43:46.719><c> from</c><00:43:46.940><c> Nero</c><00:43:47.260><c> as</c><00:43:47.519><c> well.</c>
