Peter penned this letter to provide comfort to suffering Christians. This letter was written to the scattered Christians living under the rule of Nero, the Roman emperor. During his evil reign, a fire broke out and destroyed most of Rome. The flames destroyed almost everything, except the dictator’s estates. Nero didn’t want the blame, so he framed the fire on a scapegoat. He told the people of Rome that Christians set the fire. This lie led to mass persecution of Christians, both personally and politically. They were burned alive, fed to wild animals as entertainment, and crucified like Christ.
