My Time With Jesus Tuesday

                           

There Is Always Hope

1 Peter 1:3, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant Mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

In the world of today, many people are afraid of the future, and of dying. It makes sense that if a person thinks he understands that he may need to take a look at his own situation, and the life they have lived.

You may doubt that Almighty God will forgive your unbelief, and many of the things you did that have come back to haunt you. Don’t give up but take Hope by what other people did.

Romans 5:5, now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

We have to go no further back than the time of the Lord Jesus Christ. Take Mary Magdalene. The Lord Jesus Christ cast seven demons from her. She became one of the most loyal followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a constant witness to our Lord.

 Mary Magdalene was present at the crucifixion. She was the first to see the empty tomb and the resurrection. She is one of the great Heroes of the Bible.

Then of course we have the apostles themselves. They were with our Lord every day for over three years. They heard all His teachings, and witnessed all of His miracles, and they still had doubts.

 After Jesus fed the 5,000, why couldn’t they figure out that when another crowd of 4,000 was listening to the Lord preach how they were going to be fed. How many people would have to be raised from the dead for them to believe? Our Lord mentioned  little faith many times.

With the resurrection and the receiving of the Holy Spirit, they became such true believers, that they taught people everywhere. They became so convinced that the Lord Jesus was God, they were willing to die for that belief.

We may be the way these people were in the beginning but look how it ended. We will not have an illustrious history, but we can still honor the Lord Jesus Christ by trusting in Him. We not only show our faith, but we are praising Him and what He did at the same time. 

Romans 15:13, may the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you, and I Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed your death and Resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins and come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
