1Peter 1:1-12 The Church of the future Hope in the people we are v1+2 We are vulnerable in this world, yet secure because of God’s choice. Identity – God’s people Purpose – to live for Jesus

1Peter 1:1-12 The Church of the future Hope in the people we are v1+2 Hope for the future that awaits us v3-5 We have been born again to a living hope, because of God’s mercy.

a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not, as some modern people think, a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither. CS Lewis

Much of Western Christianity is figuratively a mile wide, but the depth of commitment is untested and whether the individual Christian is willing to suffer discrimination, marginalization, abuse, loss of property or even life is unknown. Bishop David Anderson American Anglican Council
