Mercy is the motivation for resurrection life.

Resurrection life is the source of living hope.

Living hope is possible through Jesus's resurrection.

Application:

God's mercy is as certain as his love shown through the cross.

Living hope is as certain as the tomb is empty.

Eternal life is as certain as God's power.
