Living hope!

Living hope!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I 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.

All of us were without God and without hope in our lives but the day we received Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we were born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We have new life and new hope in Jesus Christ. The world has no hope, no hope for the present and no hope for the future. We are in this hopeless world but we don't belong to this hopeless world because we are citizens of heaven. Jesus is our living hope. Christ in us, the hope of glory. The word hope in this verse refers to joyful and confident expectation of good. We live in this lively expectation of good because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Hallelujah. You are not seeking the goodness of God, you are in the goodness of God. Believe it, expect it, speak it and celebrate it. Glory!

Every day we experience more and more of His goodness. Expect it with thanksgiving. No sadness, no gloominess, no depression.  Live in this lively hope. One day, Jesus will return to take us back to Him and we will be with Him forever and ever. Amen. What a life we have in Christ! Enjoy your life!

“I am born again into a lively, joyful and confident expectation of good. I experience the goodness of the Lord every moment of my life. No sadness, no gloominess and no depression in my life. Jesus is alive. Hallelujah”
