August 12

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 1:3

Three adjectives that make sense but don't make sense but actually when you experience them make sense.

GREAT mercy - mercy is not usually described as something Mighty. We usually talk about tender mercy. But if you know it, isn't mercy great?

NEW birth - there is nothing newer than birth. But when you are born again in Christ...yes, there is no other way to describe it. Everything's brand new.

LIVING hope - hope has no feet, no lungs, no mind of its own. How does it live? And yet, when you have it - it drives you.
