Easter Sunday - 1st Peter 1:3

 Peter is celebrating Jesus’ resurrection His first line is praise to God (the English Standard Version adds an exclamation mark)- his specific point is what Jesus’ resurrection means for us• I’ve been reading in Acts this week and this is the same message Peter and the apostles preached there• Jesus Christ had been raised from the dead◦ and doing so, he opened a new way to know God and be right him◦ Peter preached this in his first sermon, and every speech afterward
