Scripture: In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. Observation: Anyone reflecting on the human experience must deal with the natural tension of having good times and bad times. Scripture is no different. At the heart of this verse is a contrast between greatly rejoicing and suffering grief. Instead of instructing his readers to regard the facing of trials as joyful, he acknowledges that joy and grief can coexist in us.
