CHRIST OUR HOPE

Scripture:   1 Timothy 1:1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is
our hope;”

    Our hope today is in Jesus!  The dictionary defines the word “hope” as “trust, reliance, a source of happy expectation.”  “Have faith in God, He’s on His throne, Have faith in God, He watches over His own; He cannot fail, He must prevail, Have faith in God, Have faith in God.” Colossians 1:27 says that “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”  Jesus is our hope, our only hope!
    He is the only hope of salvation.  Acts 4:12 says, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  Apart from Jesus and His finished work on Calvary, there is no other hope of salvation.
    We are not saved today by our works.  Ephesians 2:9 says “not of works, lest any man should boast.”  It’s not by our riches or wealth that we’re saved.  1 Peter 1:18 says “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…” Only Jesus can bring salvation to your soul!  Ephesians 2:13 says “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”  Jesus is our only hope of salvation!
    The Bible tells us that He is the hope of a sure resurrection.  In Jesus today, we have the hope, that one day, even though death may come, these old corruptible bodies will be raised to incorruption.  Jesus said “Because I live, ye shall live also.” One day death is going to be swallowed up in victory for every child of God.
    Then we see that He is our hope of security.  John 3:16 tells us that we shall never perish.  John 5:24 says that we have everlasting life.  John 3:36 declares that “He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life.” Jesus is our hope!  Do you have this hope today?
