—1 Peter 3:8-15
by: Angie Osborn.
My son has recently been involved in an online class for 5th and 6th graders where they are discussing the idea of utopias. One of the assignments for the class was to describe what a utopia would look like from your viewpoint. As I read this passage, I thought of that assignment. If we truly did live the way that is described in verses 8-12, we would be living with each other in the context of Christ-like compassion and forgiveness rather than our own selfishness. Someday, we will experience a utopia—we will be in heaven with our Savior, singing his praises, spending eternity in his love.
