DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Joy is peace reposing in the victor’s heart. It is the product of goal achieved and solid conviction in the continuity of that rewarding experience. Our coming to Christ and His accepting us into the glorious light of His kingdom triggers off in every believer, the strong feeling of joy, peace and wholeness.
Apostle Peter captured this mood in our passage when he remarked, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).
We have a great possession – the salvation of our souls. We also have a lively hope – the cherished hope that things can only get better with us. Christ, having secured a sure path for us, we can confidently undertake the race of life without fear, doubt, worry or anxiety.
Our faith in Christ and the truth He has exposed us to are the reasons for our rejoicing. Apostle Peter also reminded us of the effect of this experience, “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Peter 1:9). We have obvious reasons to rejoice with unspeakable joy when we realise what Christ has done for us and what heaven holds in store for all who persevere to the end.
