1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.”
I love these verses from 1 Peter. And I love that death was not the final answer. But our Savior got up! Because He got up from the grave, so can we. Plus we can get up each day and go forward in His love, mercy and goodness. We can get up and proclaim the living hope we have in Jesus Christ, right in the midst of life’s ups and downs.
I pray that the resurrection of Jesus Christ will lead you to live a life of surrender, obedience and perseverance. And I hope that even in the smallest things, His love would be evident to you, as you live freely in His resurrection power.
Romans 4:25 NLT, “He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.”
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Have a blessed Easter! 🕊️
