What we are seeing today in our world is an epidemic of hopelessness! Many feel alienated and alone, powerless to do anything to change the course of their lives or the world around them. Many feel as if they do not have what it takes to make it in this world. They feel trapped. After the recent world events, many feel that this world is unsafe. They feel exposed and vulnerable. And thus a dark cloud of hopelessness has descended upon many. Some despair to the point of taking their own lives. But for the child of God, who might feel alienated and alone in this world, who might feel helpless to do anything to change the course of society, we have HOPE-- a Living HOPE based on the new birth experience and the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Because He lives, we have a Living Hope. A living hope that one day we will receive our eternal inheritance which in incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading-- an eternal inheritance which is the salvation of our souls, the unending bliss of spending eternity with God in heaven where there will be no more sin, sorrow, suffering, persecution, evil men-- where God will reign supreme. That's our HOPE! And our hope is secure because it is reserved in heaven for us, and we are being kept by God's power for that glorious day! Nothing can ever separate us from God's love. There is Hope for the Hopeless! |
