"This letter is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope." (1 Timothy 1:1 NLT)
Need hope in your life? Jesus is hope--for eternal life with God, through sickness, through suffering, through the obstacles to overcome.
In Jesus..."being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:7 ESV)
In Jesus..."we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV)
In Jesus..."we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." (Romans 5:2-5 ESV)
In Jesus..."I can do all things through him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13 ESV)
How else do you find hope in Jesus? How have you rested on Jesus: Hope in your life? in what ways can Jesus use us to extend His hope to others?
