WHAT IS OUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD?

We live among those who suffer.  Neighbors suffer from cancer.  Bosses suffer from discouragment.  Mommas suffer from worry.  Agony--sheer agony--hold all of us at times as if at gunpoint.  No one seems exempt.

So, since we are all alike, do Christians really have a message?  Or, do we live in some sort of pretentious denial as to how awful things are with news of it worsening?

No.  We have a message.

Hope!

Those without God are stuck with their own ingenuity and manipulative efforts which ultimately fade.  Those with Him remember the cross and then the subsequent filled grave and then the subsequent subsequent EMPTY ONE!

Because of the resurrection of Jesus--the impossible becoming possible--we are called to ALWAYS HOPE!

Therefore, those of you who are in Christ, don't go through life as one without God.  You are with Him. 

Hope like it!

And our message to the world?  Regardless of how dark the grave, explosive new life is just hours away!
