As I reflected on 1 Peter, I thought of Peter’s goal in sending this letter to exiled Christians. They are in trouble, and Peter is trying to give them hope. So, the main theme to me seems to be the need to look to Jesus in the midst of trials. Jesus is our hope, our lighthouse in hard times. At the same time, we are called to stand firm like a lighthouse and to shine our light⏤that is, Christ in us⏤when stormy times come. So, the lighthouse points to these two images.
