In Christ, I have A Reason to Hope

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.  Psalm 25:5

Putting your hope in the things of this world will surely lead to disappointment.  People will let you down either by choice or simply because you’ve placed a wrong expectation on them.  Circumstances change, tragedies happen, health deteriorates and money loses its value.

Striving to find a spark of hope in them, or a sense of peace, love and comfort is futile.  Chasing after them will become overwhelming and discouraging because they were never meant to last. 

Real hope is found in God alone.  Jesus’ death on the cross conquered sin and the grave.  It gave you a reason to hope knowing that sin will not have the last word, because you have been forgiven and redeemed.  Suffering and death will not have the last word because in Christ, resurrection is promised.  God will have the last word and it is that He will wipe away every tear and make all things new.

Jesus is your reason to hope now and forever more.  Hope that lives with a confident expectation that God is faithful and will fulfill all His promises as He surrounds you with His unconditional love and presence.  Hope that believes when your life here on earth ends, it is only the beginning of eternity with Him. 

In Christ alone, you have a Reason to Hope.
