I Peter 1:21 “Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” How can any of us live without Jesus? He is our rock solid foundation. Our faith, our hope, our life, our all is based on His ultimate love for each of us. Let none of allow the glitter of Christmas interfere with the real reason for celebrating this season.

I Peter 1:18-19a “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ…” Key thoughts–For you know…empty way of life—you were redeemed—precious blood of Christ.Meaning: Without Jesus all of life is meaningless—with our Savior life is meaningful. Everyone on earth makes the choice. Very simple.

I Peter 1:8 “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” Try and define—inexpressible and glorious joy. I wish I could to help both myself and you understanding the deep emotional response we all should have because of the great love we receive from our Savior. Inexpressible and glorious joy—you won’t experience anything better today or any day.

I Peter i:6 “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” If you or I think our life on this earth will be only filled with joy and wonderful events we will not only find ourselves questioning our faith, but we will also never mature with the true concept of strength in adversity. God tells us our faith will gain strength as we realize we need Him. Place your right hand over your left hand, close your eyes and enjoy the feeling of your Heavenly Father holding your hand and guiding you through life. As you squeeze your right hand you will feel God’s great love for you. Enjoy this simple exercise.

If God sent you a letter and said you have received a phenomenal inheritance that is beyond belief and the inheritance is spelled out in a book, wouldn’t you be excited and anxiously read that book to learn what that great inheritance is? You and I have that book. Have a great weekend.
