1 Peter

So, now we are on a new journey. We have finished the book of Esther, and now go to the New Testament to Peter. This first chapter is a very uplifting one to all Christians.

S: 1 Peter 1:8-9

Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of [your] faith, the salvation of your souls.

O/A: our love for Jesus is powerful because we do not have to see to believe. We do have to have seen his miracles first hand to know that he is our Savior. As Christians, we believe in him and therefore love him. Our love for him will help us to achieve our goal of salvation and our destination of eternity in heaven.

P: Dear Lord, thak you for the gift of Jesus, so that we may know salvation and true love. Please help us keep our hearts guided in the direction of that love so that we can come to know you through our love for Jesus. amen!
