3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Prayer Focus: By God’s great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The connection between hope and joy begins to become clear in this text. By the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, we hope that this moment is not all there is. God has prepared a future for us. This future breaks into the present here and now and pulls us forward. It is a future that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is joy. Pray that you might embrace your new birth into a living hope today!
