Text 1 Peter 1:3  (NLT)

The Hope of Eternal Life

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again,

 because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,

If you google “ Christianity” you will find many definitions based on the tenants of Faith in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Sadly you will have to dig a little to find one that goes to the specific point of detailing one of the defining traits as a belief in his resurrection from the dead. His life, teachings and death are all mentioned along with the belief by “some” that he was the appointed messiah. The rising of the sun is an often taken for granted gift from God in our daily lives. It is true we all see the world better in the daylight and in the thoughts above of converted atheist CS Lewis Christians see the everything in the light of the resurrection or rising of the son of God. That light is beyond comparison to all other beliefs where the founders or leaders lived, died and were buried to still be there versus a Living God in our lives thru Jesus Christ. That perspective alone allows Christians to see everything else in the light of Hope and Love and no day is taken for granted.
