Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living
hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead.
--1 Peter 1:3
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The great truth about Jesus' empty tomb is not that he is
risen, but that he is living! His victory over death wasn't
short-lived, it was ultimate. He now lives to make
intercession for us until he can return and bring us to his
home. Our life is hidden with him so that no one and nothing
can take it from us. When he appears, we will get to share
in his never-ending glory. How can we not praise God for
such grace?
MY PRAYER...
Almighty God, I praise you from the bottom of my heart for
your incredible and glorious grace that has brought eternal
victory out of mortal anguish. Thank you for paying the
price to make it so. You are marvelous beyond my words and
worthy of more praise than all your children's voices
together can tell. My Hope will live forever because he is
risen and reigning as Lord. To you be all honor, glory, and
majesty forever, and ever, Amen!
