1 Peter: Is All of This Worth It?预览

As a follower of Jesus you have a “living hope.” And that hope is an inheritance that cannot be taken away, cannot be spoiled, and cannot disappear. Like a gift card with no expiration date, the hope you have of eternal life in the presence of God the Father is a sure thing. A done deal. Paid for by the death and resurrection of Jesus. What great news! What a great way to live! Secure in the knowledge that the end of your life as an exile on this earth will be the beginning of your eternal life in the glory of God’s presence.
ASK:
-How does the knowledge of a living hope and a secure inheritance lead to rejoicing even in difficult circumstances?
-What might it have looked liked/sounded like for these churches to rejoice when they gathered? When they went about their daily tasks?
TAKE A NEXT STEP:
How will you rejoice in your salvation today? Consider what you might do or say and then practice!

In many areas of today’s world it is not easy being a Christian. We need to ask, is it worth being identified as a follower of Christ? If so, how should we live in a world that rejects us? The early church was asking these questions, too. They were the target of jokes, rumors, discrimination and persecution. God answered and encouraged them through 1 Peter, as He will for us!
