St. Paul tells the Ephesians that without Christ they were without hope and without God in the world.
Imagine a life without hope!
To have faith Christ, means that you never have to say "there is no hope."
The phrase "there is no hope" is no longer viable in the life of Christian. In Christ the dark door of time has been thrown open, the future now radiates with light and we have been granted the gift of new life.
The good news of the gospel is not just about having access to new knowledge of God; it is about living differently; it is about making things happen; it is about a power that transforms the ordinary and fills it abundantly with the light of life.
In the words of the psalmist, :"n your light I shall see light and walk in your presence in the land of the living."
Psalm 33 reminds us:
"The Lord looks on those who revere him, on those who hope in his love, to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine. Our soul is waiting for the Lord. The Lord is our help and our shield. In him do our hearts find joy. We trust in his holy name. May your love be upon us. O Lord, as we place all our hope in you."
This the power of the new life gained in Christ.
