Word for the Week of April 27

I've chosen just one verse from Sunday's second lesson from 1 Peter. It's a verse that prompts many questions for our prayer and consideration...

What is hope?

Do I have hope? Does my world have hope?
In what, in whom do I place my hope?

Is Christ my hope? If my hope is in Jesus - what does that mean?
Do I continue to trust in Jesus even when my dreams are dashed?
Does my hope extend beyond this life?

Who has helped me to hope when I had no hope?
Whom have I helped to hope?

Have I ever shared my hope in Christ with someone else?
How would I speak about my hope in Jesus if I were to share that with someone, gently and with reverence?
