Living Hope

1 Peter 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
  • How does the resurrection of Jesus give you hope?
  • What is the difference between a living hope and some other hope?
  • What is the difference between the hope in God's Word and wishful hope of our society?
  • What does this passage state we can/should be hoping for?
  • What protects you and how?
  • At the functional level, what do you put your hope in? What are you most seriously hoping for?
