Hope! We all have it, in one form or another, but
as for the Christian we feed our hope as our
character is formed through the trial of life, without it we would be like
water tossed to and fro as the
wind skims the surface and the undertow tugs away at our
resolve. Without hope we would be of all people most miserable. However, it’s
through the difficult times in life that highlights the hope we have in Christ,
if not we haven’t really understood the purpose of the “trial of life”. It’s the struggle that
builds our hope, which is; “in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this
perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on
immortality.” (1Co 15:52-53)
Death will come to
some, but not to all, immortality our crown, but more than that we shall be
like Him, individuals free from sin and co heirs with Christ. Sons of the
living God, God will call us his sons, He will personally declare us as such to
the angels and the unbelievers, those would thought they knew better than Him,
wow! When I begin to ponder on these things my mind jumps for joy, how could it
not? The hope we have in Christ and HIS perfect FINISHED work is like marrow to
the bones, a comfort to the heart and it bring a song to my lips.
Remember this
Christian, there is a day not too far away where we will see our Saviour as He
is, not a physically marred weak man hanging on a cruel Roman cross, but the
RISEN CHRIST IN ALL HIS GLORY! And know this, we too will have a body similar
to His, praise God for the hope we have in Him. Without the love of God none of
this would be ours, WOW!
So let me leave you
with this thought, its character which produces hope, so before we ask why is
this happening? Let us peel back a layer of the brilliance of God and then we
will bless Him for His genius, knowing that it’s the “trial of life” which
produces hope. Can an olive release its goodness without being crushed?
Thank you Father for
including the Christian in your master plan, I love you and just to be allowed
to see a snipped of your brilliance puts a skip in my step and warms my soul,
to God be the glory now and forever more, Amen!
