“Jesus Christ will appear again in glory, and, when he does so, the saints will appear with him, and their graces will appear illustrious; and the more they have been tried the more bright they will then appear. The trial will soon be over, but the glory, honor and praise will last to eternity. This should reconcile you to your present afflictions; they work for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
– Matthew Henry on 1 Peter 1:6
