"There Is Hope!"
Note: I have been in San Fransisco since Friday
afternoon visiting my oldest brother Michael. My other older brother, Pat, is also here. We will return home tomorrow. Due to early flight I will not post a message tomorrow (Wednesday)
Message summary:
Whatever you are dealing with today there is hope in Christ. We need to hold on unswervingly to this hope.
Note: Due to travel a podcast will not be available
for this message
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).
Today I want to share another observation I made while
walking across the Golden Gate Bridge last Saturday. There's a busy walk/bike lane on the east side of the humongous bridge. This side faces the bay with the most interesting views including the city skyline. The west side of the bridge has views of the ocean and is reserved for bikes only .
But there was another prominent sign posted several places
on the bridge that I had seen on several other bridge crossings that has a very clear meaning. The photo below is a warning sign referring to those who are considering murdering themselves, since more than 1,200 people have jumped to their deaths from the span since it opened in 1937.
But I was blessed by the simple message at the bottom of
the CRISIS COUNSELING sign, "THERE IS HOPE". Of course I am sure the message would go to a trained crisis counselor who most likely likely would not refer to the supreme source of hope, our hope in Christ.
I can't do much about that but here on Daily
Encouragement I can! Whatever you are dealing with today there is hope in Christ. We need to hold on unswervingly to this hope.
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23). Many years ago I did a verse by verse study through the book of Hebrews and concluded that this is the key purpose text in the entire book. This call is to the earliest believers who were the initial recipients of this Scripture and to all others through the ages of the Church, including us today. We are to "hold unswervingly to the hope we profess". Of course primarily this hope is the hope we have in Christ.
And this hope is absolutely secure, "for He who promised is faithful". Rest in that wonderful assurance today and join me in holding unswervingly to this hope! Be encouraged today, (Hebrews 3:13)
