“OUR HOPE!”
Romans 5:1-2
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Back during my college days there was always a lot of stress as we waited to get the results of work that we had submitted. As I recall there were comments that sounded like this; “I hope I did okay.” It was not a confident expectation, but a lot of unknown.
In Scripture the word hope is used frequently. In fact it is used well over 100 times. It is interesting that both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the word denotes a voice of confidence or expectation.
It is common for us to use the word hope in times when we doubt that it will happen. Advertisers announce a huge drawing in which a large amount of money will be given to some lucky winner. It could be us and we may hope it will be, but our chances are slim to none!
The hope that we read about in today’s Scripture is a confident expectation. God says and He is always true to His Word. Our hope is the kind that rejoices before it happens because we know it will. Confident expectation! That is our hope!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
