Hope that Lives!

As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus today, I call your attention particularly to 1 Peter chapter one verse 3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  Note three words which we will consider in reverse order: Resurrection, Hope, Born-Again (one word in the original).  First, Resurrection: What did Jesus accomplish by His resurrection from the dead?  Second, Hope: What are the benefits that are available to us through His resurrection? Third, Born Again: How can we attain to those benefits?
