HOPE - We say it all the time. “I hope so” or “I hope things work out.” We hope a problem goes away. We hope tomorrow is a better day. But that’s just wishful thinking. Hope is more than that. True hope, biblical hope, is based on the promises of God. And if God promised, it’s guaranteed. The lyrics of a great hymn ask the question, “What is our hope in life and death?” The resounding answer is “Christ alone, Christ alone.” Our hope in life and in death is Christ alone! Hope is trusting that He will help us in this life and trusting that He will get us to the next life. That’s why, as the Bible says, we “rejoice in hope!” (Romans 12:12).
