Hope for Christian

Have you ever run out of hope before? Isn't it like trying to drain water out of a bottle with a narrow snout, there will always be little drops remaining. Only time will dry up every single drop. Hope never dies immediately, a little of it always remains. Especially when you are a Christian hope is very hard to kill. As a Christian you always hold out for a miracle, even when the world presents no hope and every evidence points to the worst, you know that there is always hope in Christ. Jesus suffered, died and rose again from the dead. He raised Lazarus and Jairus’s daughter from the dead. He healed the sick and gave sight to the blind. He overcame the world and freed us from the penalty of sin. So how can any of us who believe in these truths, ever think that our problems in life cannot be solved? Even when we seem defeated by the world, lose everything we physically posses or even lose our very lives, we still WIN if Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. Our worldly defeats turn into victories if we surrender all to Him, our physical losses will be replenished and renewed and whenever we die we enter His eternal kingdom thus achieving the ultimate prize. So how can we think that the evils of this world can ever defeat us? All their victories are temporary and hollow. Ours is a victory that has already been won. The moment Jesus died and rose from the dead the war against the devil was won. We only need to win as many daily victories as possible, fight the good fight and finish the race. God has already prepared a place for us in His Kingdom. So you can also say that the hope of a Christian is like a natural spring that never runs dry…..you can drain as much water from it as you can, but it will always flow. Hope never dies for a Christian.
