It isn't easy to follow Jesus today. It wasn't easy to follow Jesus in the first century, either. Then and now, faith comes under fire from many directions. Make no mistake about it: the Christian life isn't just a casual ride in the park. Living by faith is a high-risk endeavor - not for the faint of heart. But through all the hardships, like Peter, one of Jesus' closest followers, you'll have the time of you life as you experience the adventure of serving the King of kings. Studying the letters that Peter wrote we learn more about this man who decided to follow Jesus and also find encouragement for ourselves to continue in our walk with God - even when our faith is under fire.
