Hope Will Not Disappoint by Jerome Stewart
Psalm 14 vs. 1 says; The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” Do not be a fool! Many people have given up on life and can be counted as “the walking dead,” when it doesn’t have to be that way. God sent Jesus into the world because of His love for mankind. There is always hope in Jesus Christ. He died so that we could live in eternity with the Godhead, meaning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In Romans chapter 8 the apostle Paul made reference to the expectation of the redeemed based on hope in Christ. Vs. 24 he says; “For we were saved in this hope, but hope seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”
None of us today have seen Christ, but our hope is in Him. For those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior we must diligently try to live a life worthy of our kingdom citizenship every day. The devil is busy today! But Jesus is busier!!!
As to the redeemed strongly consider the words of the Apostle John in Revelations 21 vss. 2 thru 4 which says; “Then I John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
In the Apostle Paul’s epistle to Timothy in 1st. Timothy chapter 6 vss. 12 thru 16 he says; “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which also you were called and have confessed a good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power.”
So the question is this. Do you know Jesus? If not you need to. He died for you!
