I was reading in 1 Peter the other day and came across the familiar section in chapter 3 where Peter encourages his audience to be prepared to give a reason for the hope that they have.
The key to this verse, though, is that you have to have hope.
Without hope, you're not living in a way where people will feel compelled to ask you anything. Your life won't look too much different then yours.
This isn't about living a plastic Christianity. Of course we'll have struggles, temptations, failures, doubts, and worries. This doesn't mean we gloss over those things so that we look like we have hope.
No, we wrestle with them, share them, work on them, all because of the hope we have in Jesus.
Do you have hope?
