Jesus' Delicate Construction Zone

[rocknanchor]

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One according to His great mercy having begotten us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from the dead, to an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, being reserved in the heavens for you, who are being guarded by the power of God through faith, for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time, in which you greatly rejoice, at present for a little while if it is being necessary, having been put to grief by various trials, , and he will throughly purge his floor

(1 Peter 1:3-6, Matthew 3:12)

“So shall He thoroughly (δια intensifying) cleanse His floor. And the sweeping wind and the consuming fire are the emblems and measure of His power” - Expositor's Greek

[rocknanchor]

Shall the layman remain fixed upon such a dire outcome to be "guarded" for the use of His hardness? But let the OP replace that with the joy of even our worst day.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:15, 16)
