ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

First Epistle of Peter

Okay, let's say you have a friend named Peter. Peter wrote a letter a long time ago to some other friends who were far away. This letter was so important that people saved it and it became a part of a book called the Bible.

In this letter, Peter wanted to tell his friends that even though they might have some troubles, they should still try to be good and kind to others. He also wanted them to remember that even if people treated them badly, they should still be patient and forgiving.

Peter also talked about Jesus who was a really important person to him and his friends. He said that Jesus was a special person sent by God to help people. Even though Jesus went through some tough times, Peter believed that Jesus went to heaven after he died.

Peter's letter is still important today because we can learn from it. We can learn to be kind to others and to never give up hope even when things get tough. And we can remember the story of Jesus who, according to Peter, was a really special person who made a big impact on the world.
