We cannot place some of our hope on the things of this world and some of our hope on Jesus. A divided hope causes us to be crushed and depressed during difficult times. Peter is now going to give us another tool for endurance and another reason for hope during times of suffering and distress. Let us pick up our study where we left off in 1 Peter 1:20. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days. 21 Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. (NLT) To read more of this lesson click here.

We have an inheritance that will not perish and will not fade reserved for us in heaven. Peter taught that we can endure the various trials that we face because we have hope, an inheritance, a tested faith, salvation, and a privilege to live during these last days, the days of the Messiah. The apostle Peter is now going to give help to get us through difficult times. To read more of this lesson click here.

The idea of a birth has a number of implications. “Born again” tells us that we are a new person, belonging to a new family, and having new relationships. We get a new start in life. This new birth has been achieved through the resurrection of Jesus. We have been born into two great things by God’s great mercy: a living hope and into an inheritance. In hard times we have a living hope. We live in a world that is often called hopeless. A hopeless world of despair is often how many people feel about life. The Christian, however, has hope that is alive and of immense value. We have something to set our eyes upon when life becomes full of suffering and difficulty. We have a hope that is not based on the futile things of this world. Our hope is not in this country. Our hope is not in its financial system. Our hope is built upon the resurrection of Jesus.

Peter was a fisherman along with his brother Andrew. Peter was selected by Jesus to be one of his apostles. He spent three plus years following Jesus. Peter ate with Jesus, traveled with Jesus, learned from Jesus, and could ask Jesus questions. Peter was there to see Jesus’ mighty miracles. Peter was part of Jesus’ inner circle. Peter, James, and John were three of the apostles Jesus chose to participate in things that the other apostles were not allowed to be part of. Peter saw Moses and Elijah on the mountain during the transfiguration of Jesus. Peter saw Jesus betrayed, arrested, crucified, and raised from the dead. To read more of this lesson click here.
