Hope where there appears no hope. "Who can tell" is the message this morning.
Again and again through scripture, hope seems completely taken away, even by God himself. Then God does not do what he said he would do, why? Man's hopeless case as a sinner under sentence of death, but hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. A good hope through grace. The wrath of God turned away. Election is not fatalism.
The message is given though five examples from scripture:
1/ The Ninevites were told that their city would be destroyed in 40 days - But it was not. 2/ David is told by God that Saul would come to Keilah and the men of Keilah would deliver him up to Saul - But it does not happen. 3/ Nebuchadnezzar commands all the wise men of Babylon to be slain including Daniel and his friends - But it does not happen. 4/ The Jews have a decree made against them to have them all killed - But it does not happen. 5/ The two on the way to Emmaus thought their hope of a redeemer gone and that Jesus was dead. But both were not true. Jesus was risen from the dead and had accomplished the work of redemption on the cross.
