1 Peter 1:3-8 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
KJV
Why would the resurrection of Christ be mentioned in connection with the varied trials of life? Because it is the resurrection of Christ that makes all these trial bearable. Many times we find ourselves in heaviness as it says in verse 6, our life is filled with trials as we seen in verse 7, yet one thing can keep the Christian going, the living Savior who stands in heaven watching over and making intercession for us before the throne of God the Father. Because Jesus endured, we can endure. Because Jesus lives we can live as well. We have a living, resurrected savior, and that fact gives us strength for every trial of life. Endure Christian, He is alive forevermore and He is taking care of you through all the heaviness of life.
