We live in serious times. All around us we see changes in our culture we never imagined possible. We see serious problems that don’t seem to have a solution. It makes us cry out, “What in the world is going on?” It makes us wonder, “What in the world is God doing?”
There is a man who can answer that question. He walked with Jesus 2,000 years ago, and that’s why the Apostle Peter has something relevant to say to us today.
Peter wrote two letters that were circulated among Christians scattered all over the Mediterranean world. They fled in every direction from persecution, dragging their families behind them. Life was difficult and they were very much in the minority. That’s why Peter said, “I have written these things to you, encouraging and assuring you that (the Gospel) is the true grace of God. So, stand firm in it” (1 Peter 5:12). In his letters, Peter points to God’s promise – “a living hope … reserved in heaven” – for any who believe in Jesus Christ.
The Church is the voice of God in our world and that is our message. “A living hope … reserved in heaven” for any who believe in Jesus Christ. Even though we are in the minority, even though our culture is less and less open to our message, we must stand firm declaring with our voices and displaying with our lives this glorious Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ.
