Rough 'n' tough stuff is going on. Shootings. Explosions. Crises. Minds learn of desperation heaped upon turbulence. Dare we live with hope?
Of course.
Hope is what Jesus is all about. From surviving being misunderstood, to being falsely accused, to being humiliated, to being executed, the end of the tunnel did not conclude until the resurrection. There is a definitive move coming for all of our aches and pains. We win because Jesus won.
...in the sight of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. In hope against hope he believed....Romans 4:17-18.
Dare we hope? Absolutely. The empty tomb makes a permanent and cross-cultural, cross-generational statement. Regardless of pain, anguish, or fear, the end is not the end until we believe God can make something from our nothingness and He can also insert life into the deadest of circumstances.
Hope?
Certainly.
