THE EVENT THAT SHOUTS HOPE!

In just a few short days we will celebrate another Easter! Without a doubt, this is the most important day of our year. On this day we celebrate the event that shouts HOPE to the world, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of the resurrection, regardless of your life circumstances, nothing is so dead that God cannot bring it back to life.

As you prepare for Easter this year, many of you are facing some extremely challenging circumstances in your life. Losing hope is really easy these days. Let me challenge you to think about the things in which you hope. Maybe God is challenging those things so that we will again remember that all true hope begins with the promises of God. While we may enjoy many of the people and things the world offers us, we will never get real and lasting hope through them.

This kind of hope is only found in the life, death, burial, resurrection and promised return of Christ. True hope is in a person and that person is Jesus and Jesus alone. So grab hold of these truths and have real hope for the days ahead. And remember, if the resurrection is true, nothing that matters to God is so dead that God cannot resurrect it to life.
