For the Hope that is In You - Joseph Boot

The apostle Peter wrote that God’s people need to always be ready to make a defense “to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” Christians have responded in several ways to this “apologetic mandate,” but what is the most biblically faithful approach? How do we present the Christian story in a culture that denies any overarching story or purpose to the world as we know it? The answer lies in first correctly identifying the nature of the hope that is in us; this hope is grounded in the historical work of Jesus Christ, and in his present reign as Lord and King over all the earth and over every area of human activity.
