[Jesus said] ‘I am the resurrection and the life … Do you believe this?’ This is a canyon question which makes sense only during an all-night vigil or in the stillness of smoke-filled waiting rooms. A question that makes sense when all of our props, crutches, and costumes are taken away. For then we must face ourselves as we really are: rudderless humans tail-spinning toward disaster. And we are forced to see him for what he claims to be: our only hope. — Max Lucado
Hebrews 3:6 NLT But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.
This quote may be a little dated, but the meaning behind it is eternally true. Jesus is our only hope. Hope for what you may ask? Is it hope for a better life, for our dreams to come true? Hope for prosperity, power and fame? Our simply hope that our lives turn out the way we want them to? Just what are we hoping for?
I often ask myself this question from time to time and I always come back to what I believe with all my heart that really matters; Hope that God will say to me, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Now I realize that some are sitting right in the middle of your storm, test or trial and these words don’t seem to pierce the pain, hurt or despair that you may be feeling. But can I tell you that if you cannot put your hope in Jesus, the world surely is not going to be able to fully resolve your current situation. Oh the world may offer what appears to be a quick fix or solution, but the price is way too high for something so temporary.

Our hope in Jesus secures for eternity all of the promises of God. That if we will just trust, believe, hope and hold on, just a little while longer, we will rest from our labors, our brokenness will be repaired, what we believe we have lost will be restored and what was stolen will be returned, a thousand-fold. I’m not necessarily or just talking about those physical or natural things that so occupy our thoughts and lives, but the things of God. You know what I mean: You can have a mansion on a hill, but not have a loving home. You can have power, wealth and fame, but still have a heart that’s heavy and lonely. You can surround yourself with all the material possessions and relationships a person can have, yet still have a spirit of fear, hurt and hopelessness.
As hard as it is right now, we must set our hearts and spirits to something greater and higher than what we are today and where we are today. We must see ourselves rejoicing in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus. We must know that we have been endued with Power from on high. The Power to overcome and be victorious in all things. The Power to speak to our circumstances and command our situations to change for the glory of God to be revealed.
This is the hope that Jesus provides and makes available to us.
The world is in need of hope today. You may need a little more hope today. Will you put your hope in Jesus?
