1 Peter 1:13 Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.
Peter here is continuing to talk about that belief that we read about yesterday. We believe in Christ even though we haven't seen him. We celebrate the joy of the resurrection even though we have not seen him and put our hands in his wounds.
He continues to say that this belief must have consequences in our lives. Discipline yourselves with hope. Don't let your life be strayed off track by bad news and gloomy outlooks. Discipline yourself with hope. It matters.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
