Day 3 : Holding Fast to Living Hope When Suffering
12/05/2025
Suffering is a part of life, but as Christians, we have a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus. This hope sustains us through trials and reminds us of the glory that awaits us. Peter speaks of a "living hope" through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This hope is alive and active, sustaining us through trials and suffering. Paul echoes this in Romans, reminding us that our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed.
S.O.A.P.
This simple guide will help you engage with Scripture and grow in your relationship with God.

Reflect on the verses and notice any key ideas or truths that God is showing you.
Application:
Share your story of hope with someone who is struggling. Encourage them with the living hope we have in Christ.
Prayer:
Ask God to help you hold tightly to the living hope you have in Christ, even in seasons of suffering.
Reflection Questions:
