The resurrection of Christ brings hope. A hope that brings peace in uncertain times. A hope that you can only find in Christ. The late Emil Brunner once said, “What oxygen is for the lungs, such is hope for the meaning of human life.” Yet today hopelessness and despair are everywhere. There are so many people that are stuck in a state of worry that they can’t find the hope that they once had.
Peter wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again into a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
There is hope that mistakes and sins can be forgiven. There is hope that we can have joy, peace, assurance, and security in the midst of the despair of this age. There is hope that Christ is coming soon.
Our hope is not in our own ability, or in our right decisions in chaos, or in our physical strength and health. Our hope is instilled in us by the resurrection of Christ.
Find your peace in the hope of Jesus Christ.
Find your hope in Him.
May God bless you and show you His grace every day!
