Living Hope

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…” (1 Peter 1:3, NASB)

Here the man who denied he knew Jesus three times, praises God for providing salvation. The new birth is made possible because God connects us to His Son who He raised from the dead – a resurrection that promises that His children will one day also be raised to the new life – the “living hope.” My hope in my future is unshakable; is yours?
