I John 5:13-14---These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
Christ
did not bring you into the world so you would always look down in hopelessness
and dejection. Christ brought you into the world to live in His power of hope
and promise for eternity. There may be no time in your life that seems to look
the darkest than the time just before your death. However, you are often
deceived by appearances because the time just before your death is a time full
of eternal hope and eternal promise. In the times of your life when it seems
there is no hope for anything good to happen to you or for you, total goodness
and joy await you as if time did not exist. In Christ and because of Christ,
the times when you have no hope are really times when there is for you hope
eternal. In the times when you have no joy, there is already joy waiting to be
poured out upon your heart for all eternity. Christ came to give you hope for
every second you are alive. Christ walked away from death in the grave to give
you hope. Christ is alive today and calls you to live in hope. Christ walks and
talks with you every second you are alive to get you to look beyond the way
things are…to a time when all things will be made new. Christ calls you to look
forward to a time when every hope will be realized in His eternal stream of
love and grace. For all of this, give Christ praise, honor, and glory.
