He has caused us to be born again to a living hope.

1 Peter 1:3b

Easter is hope, renewal, and new life. Hope sustains us through painful experiences and the fear of what the future may hold. In our world where people face poverty, disease, and hunger, we need a living and dynamic hope. Believers are blessed with a living hope through Christ’s resurrection. As believers, our living hope is solid and secure because Jesus is our salvation. Our Christian hope gives us the ability to look beyond our circumstances, which may seem hopeless. Our hope is in Jesus because He is the foundation for what we believe. Christian hope is the confident expectation that God will fulfill all His promises to us. It is not wishful thinking but a virtue based on faith through Christ’s resurrection. Christian hope is a confidence that something will come to pass because God has promised it will come to pass.
