I Peter 1:3-9

“Around the world on Easter Sunday Christians celebrate the event that is most pivotal in all of history – the resurrection of Jesus.  A first century follower of Jesus named Peter wrote a letter highlighting the far-reaching impact and implications of the resurrection for those who believe. As you thoughtfully read Peter’s letter, you are confronted with the truth that the resurrection of Jesus is inseparably linked to dynamic hope.  In the New Testament there is this recurring theme that gospel hope is more than a wish.  Gospel hope is rooted in events that actually took place on the stage of history.  For followers of Jesus, His resurrection is about life and about hope.  It is a “living hope” that can have dynamic implications for our lives now, and extraordinary promise for our lives in the future.  Hope can reorient lives, and get people back on track whose lives are off the rails. Gospel hope can bring meaning and purpose when life is convulsing and not making sense.  Join us on Easter Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, and as we consider how it meaningfully links to substantive hope.”
