For Thursday, January 21, 2021
1 Peter 1:3 CEV: “Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so good, and by raising Jesus from death, he has given us new life and a hope that lives on.”
All God's goodness to us begins with His mercy, and by accepting God's mercy, we have hope!
Spurgeon writes, “No other attribute could have helped us had mercy been refused. As we are by nature, justice condemns us, holiness frowns upon us, power crushes us, truth confirms the threatening of the law, and wrath fulfills it. It is from the mercy of our God that all our hopes begin.”
We are born again to a living hope because we have eternal life in a Savior who has conquered death himself. Hope lives because it is based upon an incorruptible inheritance that can never fade away, because it is reserved for us in heaven.
Other hopes fade like withering flowers, but the living hope given by Jesus is forever!
Blessings and safety today!
