If we do not
receive and treasure the love of God, there is in each of us an innate
recognition telling us life is hopeless. Many people have a sense of
hopelessness about themselves and about their life. Most of these people
confront their hopelessness in life by running away from the hopelessness.
People run away from their hopelessness by trying to drink it away, drug it
away, play it away, watch TV it away, or try to escape their hopelessness by
any means possible. Tragically, there is no escape. Wonderfully, there is a fix
to this problem. For in Christ Jesus, we find the hope of the world, for all
people, all the time, for all the generations, for all the multitudes or the
past and all the multitudes of the future. In Christ, we find hope for life
beyond death and hope in this life in the here and now. In Christ Jesus, there
is hope until the very end, and at the very end, we find there is no end but an
eternal new beginning.
