Christians have a living and lively hope, anticipating an heavenly inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and that does not fade away. What makes and keeps our hope living and lively- It is because it is rooted in God's abounding mercy, established by God's grant of life, and guaranteed by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you have that hope- Are you living in the light of that hope- Are you praising God for your hope-
