WHERE IS YOUR HOPE?
Bible Text:
( Romans 8:18)
Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
Life is full of surprises and it doesn’t take long to become fearful and hopeless looking at the current state of the world. Wars, economic uncertainty, terrorism. It may look unending. Because of this, Paul’s statement in the scripture about current suffering pales in comparison to God’s glory feels almost too good to be true. So, what do we do when we hear something like that?
Let me start by saying, I believe that the Gospel is the greatest message of hope anyone could ever encounter. In order for us to understand the hope of the Gospel, we must look beyond what is happening to us right now. It means viewing life through the lens of faith. Paul’s statement of hope about our current suffering requires faith.
So, when the sufferings and groaning of the world appear too much, where do you place your hope? If our hope is in this life, we will find ourselves stuck in hopelessness and despair. The foundation of our faith is built upon an eternal Savior who is coming to make all things new- a hope bigger than this world.
But, if our hope is in the One who is eternal, if our hope is in the One who is coming to make all things new, then we can confidently say in any circumstance, “What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later!”
You can sing the song today for hope
*My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness🎼
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness!
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness!
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name !
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand!
Prayer point:
