Daily Devotion: Joy Unspeakable - 1 Peter 1:8-9

1 Peter 1:8-9  – 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: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Whom do you think this verse is referring to?  You guessed it.  Jesus Christ is the focus of our faith.  Without Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection our salvation would still be in question.  

We have not seen Jesus with our eyes, but I am confident that every child of God would recognize Him, and I believe we will yet see every knee bow before our Lord.  He is the Word made flesh, and He has defeated death.

His great salvation carries us through each day.  It buoys us up out of the stormy seas of life and calms our fearful hearts.  Jesus, we love you.  Fill our hearts with joy unspeakable!

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
