Our Hope

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  1 Peter 1:3

To be without hope may be the worst condition a person can have.  No doubt, there are many people today who are facing very difficult circumstances without any hope for the future.  A Christian is never without hope no matter what he or she may face.  Peter calls it a “lively hope.”  A hope that even death cannot destroy.

No wonder Peter praises God for what He has done for us.  By His abundant mercy we are born again unto eternal life.  We have the hope of the resurrection because Jesus rose and conquered death.  We have a living hope that sustains us in life and in death.  

A hope that allows us to look beyond what we see to what we know awaits us when we rest in His presence.
