As part of God's family we have a living hope... that's the message of 1 Peter 1:3 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Even the return of Jesus is called "the blessed hope" - Titus 2:13 "Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." Base your life today and this week on that hope.
