Hope in Jesus

"HOPE IN JESUS"

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

HOPE IN JESUS God's word tells us that we have to follow his commandments.  Jeremiah 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. KJV That is not the kind of person that I want to be.  I don't want to be one who trust in man and what man can do for me.  Here is what I want to do:  7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. KJV

PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION IS THERE HOPE Christ can give you everything you need but you have to believe in him. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. KJV

Wow! That is a great thought and a great concept to know that the fruit will always be there because my hope is in the Lord.  In Joel, 3:16  The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. KJV He is not only their strength but he is ours, also.

When I think about the birth of Jesus Christ, many times in my mind I think about a man who was in Jerusalem named Simeon.  The Lord had told Simeon that he wouldn't see death until he saw the Lord's Christ. He was waiting for God to send this consolation of Israel. 

Luke 2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.  26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  Here is the thing, a lot of people don't believe that Jesus is the Christ.  They don't believe that he is the Christ of God.  They don't believe that he is the Son of God...He is the Son of God!  

WHY DO I FEEL HOPELESS When Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, the bible said that he gave up the ghost, and history will tell you that Jesus died between two thieves on Golgotha's Hill.  When he died, there was a Centurion soldier that looked at him and said, "Truly this is the Son of God".  I believe that today. 

I believe Jesus is the Son of God, and he is the Christ.  If you don't have your hope in Jesus Christ, then you don't have any hope.  All you have is eternal damnation that is coming your way. I believe Jesus is our Redeemer.  He is the one that we need to turn to.  If you are distressed today...if you have no hope...if you are without God in your life, turn to Jesus Christ.  Believe in him.  Let me show you where you can have peace.

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. KJV 

I FEEL HOPELESS AND ALONE There is the key. You have got to have faith. In 1st Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. KJV  You have to have faith...you have to believe that Jesus Christ is if you want to enter into that rest. 

Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" KJV  There is a rest that you can have if you are troubled, and you feel like you have no hope.  You can have that hope.  You can have a joy...you can have peace if you will truly turn your heart and life over to Jesus Christ.

Who do you put your hope in today?  Is it your boss, the president or some other country's leader? Jesus is the Son of the Living God...that is where your hope is...our hope is in the Lord.  If the Lord Jesus Christ is not yours, let me introduce him to you.  

"Come unto me", Jesus said..."I will give you rest."
