Absolute HOPE

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”  Psalm 16:10

A sure Hope belongs to the believer in CHRIST.  This Hope follows them through their journey not only in this life but beyond the grave.   It is an everlasting Hope that never fails or staggers but is full, pure and above any hope any could ever imagine!

This Hope takes the believer by the hand and gently leads them in all their travels, never letting them go.  When in times of trouble, Hope gives their hand a squeeze telling them, all is well. 

Hope makes the unknown known and worry and fear depart from hopes presents.  Hope paves the way of the believer and removes all obstacles that are in their path.  Even death and the grave can not hinder Hope!  Hope defeated death and the grave and assures the believer the same!   Hope can be summed up in one name, JESUS!

I hoped one day to be pure and clean.

This was my aspiration!

I tried my best to do the work

But it ended in frustration!

I began to wonder if my hope was real,  

That I could be pure and clean?

But I knew if it were to come true.

Then CHRIST must intervene!

So I laid myself before the cross

And out to Christ I called.

I found the hope I’d searched for

His righteousness CHRIST installed!

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”  1 Corinthians 15:55-57
