Jeremiah
Well, Jeremiah ends on a somewhat happy note. Jehoichin is released and lives on a pension. It looks like the Jews may receive God's blessings once again, so long as they obey him!
1 Peter
Again Peter talks about suffering. I was wondering about this emphasis, but then remembered that he was writing to people who were being persecuted. This is actually an encouragement to them. It pays to investigate the historical context of the bible, so that we can know why it says what it does.
