“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,” 1 Peter 1:3-4 (NASB)
Now, the day after our remembrance and celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus, we might quickly slip back into the routine and even mundane activity of our day-to-day life. Instead, let us remember and cling to and rejoice in the promise that God gave us through the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the act of Him taking up His life, after having laid it down for us, that creates for us a new life and gives us a living hope. Death cannot take that new life from us for it is ours forever from God. It is in fact our inheritance as an heir together with Jesus. Our inheritance is a life that is imperishable and is undefiled and exists forever. The fullness of this inheritance will be conferred on all who believe in Jesus when we reach our home in heaven. We have guaranteed reservations that are already paid.
