Satan would tempt us to despair; but good hope keeps us trusting in God and rejoicing in him. –Henry
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24
What’s the hope in Jesus?
Help- We have Jesus’ help anytime we need it. Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Opportunities- We will have opportunity to share Jesus with others. Galatians 6:10, As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Peace- We have the peace of God that passes all understanding. (Even when it seems that we shouldn’t) 2 Thessalonians 3:16, Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
Eternity- We will spend eternity with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! 1 Timothy 2:3-4, For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Facing life’s problems without Jesus is like sky diving without a parachute—you will have a great time on the ride down but when it is over, it’s not what it was expected to be.
