We praise the risen Lord, Jesus Christ! Our hope is Jesus Christ himself and our hope lies with Him!
The Apostle Peter wrote that because Jesus overcame death and rose again, we have new life through faith and have “a living hope”:
1 Peter 1:3-5a “Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade kept in heaven for you,”
When our life is done on the earth, God has prepared a special inheritance for God’s children! Hallelujah! God does not mention the specifics of the inheritance but if it is God who is preparing it, then we have something wonderful to look forward to!
For those of us who possess this living hope, we not only look to the distant future but we live today in this world, a meaningful life that glorifies God and blesses people. Dearly beloved, no matter what challenges, pain and curve balls come your way in this world, may the “living hope” that you posses, give you unwavering faith and steadfastness knowing that the God who raised the dead, is at work in you! May you honor the risen Lord TODAY no matter what may come your way!
Jesus is Risen!
