11/4/2021 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, 1 Peter 1:3

It is possible to have hope without being a Christian but any true hope must come from God. For non-Christians hope is found in the order and reality of Creation which comes from the Creator. But Christians have the possibility of a living hope founded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. All hope for an abundant and eternal life is revealed in the power over death Jesus Christ is the first fruit of!!!

This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me have hope, beyond hope.

1 Peter 1:3 is a revelation of the mercy of God seen in offering the hope of the resurrection. The grace of God offers us a new birth into a new life. May we through God’s grace offer to others the hope of new living relations and relationships.

From my Grace Journal. It was suggested to start a Grace Journal as a reminder of our need not for agreement but grace to guide our relationships.
