Hope

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively [living] hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).

There is an old song that was popular when I was a teenager, and one of the lines went like this: “And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.”

What a sad hope that is! It makes me think of what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians at Corinth: “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19).

But thankfully the Bible gives us hope beyond this life or just dying in our sleep. Peter refers to it as a “living” hope, because it is not only based on the death of Christ but His resurrection.

Do you have this hope in Christ? If you are not saved, then you might well say that the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. But don’t forget, physical death is not the end. There is eternity to consider, and it will be spent in one of two places.Heaven or Hell! There is indeed “hope in Christ,” not just for this life but for eternity.
